NTP Configuration and Route Domains

Hi,

 

On a BIG-IP 4000S (running 11.5.3), is it possible to configure NTP servers that are only accessible through a non-0 route domain? Our NTP servers are not accessible through the MGMT interface so we have to access them inband. We currently have a dedicated Management Partition with a default Route Domain of 100, which we want to us for this purpose. All routing is present and correct, but I do not see any NTP requests exiting the relevant interface in RD 100. I have tried configuring the NTP servers while in the Management Partition and also using the syntax 1.1.1.1%100 when specifying the servers, but to no avail.

 

We intended to use the Management Partition / Route Domain for SNMP also so the same question applies to that.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

J

    A proper route on the non-0 RD should suffice in terms of access to the NTP servers from the non-0 RD. You can create a specific route to the NTP servers with reject option in the 0-RD to prevent it from accessing the NTP servers, if required.
