hi Guys thanks for the reply thus far.
it seems that there is no good way to quickly see whether the NTP is working.. I tried the method whereby i configure completely on the NTP configuration, go to do other task and comes back, realize NTP is not sync and not working yet, and change config again etc...this is pretty time consuming and take long time/duration to troubleshoot. by the way, can i confirm that in order to have NTP working on 2 routers for example, both of them need to be in the same timezone ? what if default there is no timezone set, will that be ok ? thanks in advance regards KY On Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 12:37 AM, Mark Senteza <[email protected]>wrote: > I usually set up my timezones the same on all my lab devices when > configuring NTP, but have not noticed that it speeds up anything.
