Enable NTP Server in F5 in production with zero impact

Hi all,

 

My F5 has no NTP Server configured with this there is a difference in schedules. My question is if I can enable an NTP Server in F5 in production with zero impact?

 

tks

  • i understand ntpd does not jump the time (unless you use ntpdate). so, i think it may be okay.

     

    just my 2 cents.

     

  • Nitass,

     

    In exemple.

     

    P:Active] ~ ntpq -p ntpq: read: Connection refused [f0117867@vipriongtmltm02:/S1-green-P:Active] ~ clock Wed 03 Sep 2014 03:21:12 PM BRT -0.001129 seconds [f0117867@vipriongtmltm02:/S1-green-P:Active] ~ date Wed Sep 3 15:37:22 BRT 2014 [f0117867@vipriongtmltm02:/S1-green-P:Active] ~

     

  • ntpq: read: Connection refused

    is ntpd running?

    root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) show sys service ntpd
    ntpd (pid  12865) is running...
    
  • this is because I have to release my firewall, but I want to observe the difference in time. My question is if I enable NTP if I can impact my environment for having established connections.
