Configure F5 LTM as NTP server
Hi All,
I have deployed a pair of F5 LTM 1600 and I would like to configure it as NTP server for other equipment in the network and at the same time, it would need to sync its time with one of my other core switch.
Is it possible, I have tried to configure but meet with failure. Please advice.
Thks and Rgds
- nitassEmployeeConfigure F5 LTM as NTP serverplease check NTP server section.
- Ah_Fat_2262NimbostratusHi Nitass,
- nitassEmployeeDo it need to create one self IP for the F5 to time sync with the targeted NTP server and another one for the usage to configure as the NTP server? i do not think we have to create a new selfip, what we have to do is to make sure ntp server is reachable by f5 e.g. routing.
- vaibhavCirrostratusWhy exactly you are not configuring the same NTP server for other devices....?
- Ah_Fat_2262NimbostratusHi Vaibhav,
- lkchenNimbostratusI played around with this recently. We had one NTP server, run by networking. But, it is unreliable. And, this was causing problems.
- TechgeeegNimbostratusHi Lawrence,
- lkchenNimbostratusThe external, public IP space self-IPs of my F5 pair are set to allow NTP.
