While we're on the subject, I came in this morning to find our core 6500

Yeah, we've seen that. You need an ACL. This is dumb. To anyone from cisco reading - this is dumb, fix it.


I was under the (apparently incorrect) assumption that IOS would not
accept unsolicited/unconfigured NTP control requests from anyone... as I
haven't revisited my NTP configuration in years.

The IOS in question (12.2(33)SXI2) does not have a "ntp broadcast
client" option I can simply turn off, as the generic NTP configuration
suggests.

The access-group documentation is a bit confusing...

I'd like to have control requests restricted to my configured 'ntp
server' list, but allow queries from anyone, and certainly not accept
NTP updates from unsolicited sources.

Does anyone have a nice, canned NTP config to accomplish this goal they
would care to share?


Ours does not do what you need; it restricts NTP querying to the NTP servers & our management network (nagios checks the routers are in-sync with an NTP query packet).

Give the caveat mentioned earlier in the thread (CSCsw79186) it's not clear to me that you *can* do what you want.

Any reason you can't just run an NTP server?
