Peer Timing out of sync

Hey Guys,

 

Wondering if I get some assistance to a small timing issue issues between devices.

 

I recently upgraded to 13.1.1 from 12.1.2, everything is in sync and look good except and when I got the following WARNING:

 

'System timing of device does not match one or more system times of the device trust and do not match the system time of the local device." Ran a show /sys service ntp to verify ntp was running as well as a ntpq -np to verify ntp peer server communications.

 

Did a show /cm and noticed the time delta on one device is 8 seconds different that the other device.

 

Tried to modify /sys db configsync.timesyncthreshold value to 8, BUT still no joy.

 

Restarted ntpd and the devices itself. Still showing the 8 second peer time out of sync.

 

Is there a way to get the timing back within standards? Maybe removing the device trust/groups and re-establishing (just a guess) so please, any ideas would be appreciated.

  • I also read some Linux verbage that would require me to expand the ntp.conf mix/max iburt for the NTP SERVERS. Has anyone else had to do this as well to restore the "Peer Timing out of sync?"

     

  • Hello

     

    I had exactly the same issue. my problem was located in 2 points

     

    1 - F5 side: Vlan issue ( Selected Vlan to NTP was different from Cluster Members)

     

    2 - Private NTP Server: NTP public servers were suddently unreachable from my server; after modifying the list of public ntp servers, Issue is resolve.

     

    Regards.
