  • 1.  ntp associations stuck in INIT but can set date via CLI

    Posted 04-04-2022 13:24

    I can successfully  set NTP date via CLI:

    > set date ntp time-a-g.nist.gov
     4 Apr 09:54:26 ntpdate[56888]: step time server 129.6.15.28 offset -0.013953 sec

    But when I add the same server in the configuration

    > show host time-a-g.nist.gov
    time-a-g.nist.gov has address 129.6.15.28
    
    {master:0}
    
    > show configuration system ntp
    server 129.6.15.28;
    server 128.138.140.44;
    
    {master:0}

    the NTP daemon gets stuck in the INIT state:

    > show ntp associations
         remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
    ==============================================================================
     time-a-g.nist.g .INIT.          16 -    -  512    0    0.000    0.000 4000.00
     india.colorado. .INIT.          16 -    -  512    0    0.000    0.000 4000.00
    
    {master:0}

    If I had a firewall issue, I would expect set date ntp to give me timeout. I am confused why it's stuck.

    Hi,
    it might be that 'set date ntp ...' uses an unprivileged source port. So you could have a firewall issue after all.
