SRX

Hi All, May I know whether SRX can setup as NTP Server or not ? If Yes can please share the step ? Thanks,

Hi,

SRX can be set up as a NTPServer but only when SRX is getting the timing info from another NTPServer .i,e it is acting as a client . Other than this pre-requisite , there is no other configuration required .

For NTP client side configuration, please check http://kb.juniper.net/KB15756

hope this helps!

Hi Pradeep,

 

After I configure the SRX as the NTP client from other NTP server, is the SRX will be automatic become the NTP server form my LAN equipment ?

 

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, you just need to configure your Lan clients to point towards SRX for fetching timing information.

Hi Pradeep, Thanks for your support. I will try.

 

Works OK for me. You will need to set host-inbound-traffic system-services ntp for the interface or zone which is facing the client system though.

 

 

I have only ping, snmp, netconf on this interface.
But NTP service is working fine

Hi, got a question regarding NTP authentication. 

I only see information about SRX use NTP authentication with MD5 to synchronize with the NTP server.

What if the SRX acts as the NTP server and needs to authenticate with the LAN servers and clients using MD5? Does it have that option?
