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.

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.
