COMWARE Switches 5.2 NTP issue

 COMWARE Switches 5.2 NTP issue

While troubleshooting I have found:

The packet is sent from the client to the server and we are receiving a response as well. As per the last message in the debug at the switch, the information is dropped as the stratum is not less than 15.

A device can act as a server to synchronize other devices only after it is synchronized. If a server has a stratum level higher than or equal to a client, the client will not synchronize to that server

On Comware v5 switches 5120 SI/ EI, you do not have the option to change the stratum level on the switch which is supposed to act as a server

Connect a 5130 switch or any higher-end switch to act as an NTP server that supports the below commands.


[5130]ntp-service enable
[5130]ntp-refclock-master 2

These commands are used to set the stratum on the switch where 2 is the integer for the stratum. Once set, the NTP will be synchronized and you would be able to successfully load the time settings.

PRTG Backup and Restore

Hi All ! Today I am going to demonstrate how to backup PRTG and restore. Let's starts ! 1> we have to stop the service of the PRTG Core Server Service and PRTG Probe Service 2>  go to start run and type %programdata% and copy the Paessler folder to the another location 3> Before reinstalling the PRTG restore the backup copy of the data (Paessler folder)  as the previous location (%programdata%)  and then install the PRTG, and remove the Network Discovery if not required. you will find the old data with the new PRTG, it don't matter what the OS you are using. Now it has been completed your backup and restore the PRTG. Happy Learning !

ArubaOS-CX, ArubaOS- Switch, Comware and Cisco IOS

The command line comparison demonstrated for 4 different OS of the switches, I think this will help you to understand the configuration level deployment. Comware Differences If you are familiar with either the ArubaOS-Switch CLI or the Cisco IOS CLI, you will notice that the  Comware CLI is organized slightly differently . Comware was designed for Internet service providers (ISPs). Many features and functions—such as security and Quality of Service (QoS)—are multi-tiered to  support the different needs of multiple entities accessing the same switch. ArubaOS-CX ArubaOS switch (now the Aruba OS), HPE Comware version 7 Cisco IOS ArubaOS-CX operating system runs on the 8400 and 8320 switches. ArubaOS Switch operating system runs on Aruba 2530 , Aruba 2920 , Aruba 2930F , Aruba 2930M , Aruba 3810M , Aruba 5400R , HPE 2620 , HPE 3500 , HPE 5400 and HPE 3800 switch platforms.
