NimbostratusNTP failed
Hi,all:
I have a ntp server 10.24.20.20 and 10.21.45.45 which work normal。But F5 can't communicate with them correctly. I find an abnormal command output as the following：
ntpq> as
1 32732 8000 yes yes none reject 2 32733 8000 yes yes none reject ntpq> rv 32732 assID=32732 status=8000 unreach, conf, no events, srcadr=10.21.45.45, srcport=123, dstadr=127.1.1.1, dstport=123, leap=11,
ntpq> rv 32733 assID=32733 status=8000 unreach, conf, no events, srcadr=10.24.20.20, srcport=123, dstadr=127.1.1.1, dstport=123, leap=11,
In the command line，dstadr should be F5' self-ip。
And in the packet,I see F5 uses tmm0 to request while tmm4 to accept the response

Was it working earlier or it is new setup? Are you able trace NTP server from F5 device. Type the following command to check status.
$ ntpstat --> Status of NTP server $ ntpq -pn --> ntpd operations and determine performanceOR
$ ntpq -ppaste the output.

Hi,
That relates only to older version of VE. I noticed that rather often after reboot of device ntp was failing.
showed that no set server was actually used.ntpq -npEasy fix was to just restart ntpd, like
- after that ntp was back to normal.tmsh restart sys service ntpdPiotr
