NTP service : unsynchronised status HP 5510

[klefr]

Hi everyone,

I configured an HP 5510 as NTP client.

[Switch-HP] ntp-service enable
[Switch-HP] ntp-service unicast-server 192.168.0.2 priority
[Switch-HP] ntp-service unicast-server 192.168.0.102

When i see if the time is synchronized, it seems that not.

I don't know where is the problem because i can see the 2 ntp sessions.

Could you help me please ?

klefr,

Before it will synchronize the clock needs to be set for a reasonable time.  If the switch clock is more than about 30 minutes away from real time, NTP will not be able to sync. 

My recommendation is to set the clock to a reasonable current time and then enable NTP.  On the 5510 in order to set the clock you will need to set clock protocol none in system, set the clock in the user CLI, and then set clock protocol ntp back in system.  If it still doesn't sync, undo your unicast=servers and put them back in.

Regards,
