What’s the difference between „ntp server“ and „ntp peer“?

Filed under: IP and IOS Features — ocsic @ 10:56

There are three possible relationships that ntp can establish.

  • client-server
  • peer-peer
  • sending broadcasts

With „ntp server“ only the client can get the time from the server.

With „ntp peer“ there is a peering relationship established and both can get the time from each other, regarding to the lower stratum.

As for example, i have router A, B and C. B is configured as a clients of A with „ntp server A“.

So A will provide the time for B. B will only get the time from A.

C is configured with „ntp peer B“. So C and B will share time information and can syncronize to each other, depending on which one has a better stratum.

All routers configured with the peer command can be „bound“ together inside a full mesh, where then every router is participating in the best time sync.

3640 crashing and booting in a loop

Filed under: Lab — ocsic @ 11:06

It’s probably these day’s you should not touch any electronic system.

Just does not having it that often, but it happens, when i did not think about it or when i expect it the least. It tried to enter an ipv6 access list:
Rack1R3(config)#ipv6 prefix-list PRE_IPV6 ?
deny Specify packets to reject
description Prefix-list specific description
permit Specify packets to forward
seq sequence number of an entry

Rack1R3(config)#ipv6 prefix-list PRE_IPV6 deny FEC0:145:1:34::/64

Well, and it’s repeating. It’s in a boot loop.

I had to set config register 0x2142 and then load the IOS without configuration:

You must reset or power cycle for new config to take effect
rommon 2 > reset

Now i can change the config.
