Anyone know the command to force an ntp update on a Catalyst 6509? I have it pointed to the NTP server but it's not synced. Thanks

The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.

As far as I know, there's no specific command to force an update. But, I certainly don't know everything so don't take that as gospel.

We just configure ours to point at our time server and that's that. If there is a command, I imagine you'll find it in the IOS.

What's making you think it's not updating?

I set the ntp server, but when i do show ntp association it doesn't have a reference clock like our other 6509 does and when i do a show ntp status it says not synchronized. I don't know if maybe the ntp service failed or what. Thanks for the response.

Set the time first to within 5 minutes of actual.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

You could just sync it off the other 6509 , it doesn't have to go all the way to the ntp server , just add " ntp server <working 6509 address> " .
