Thanks Tornado & Reborg. I have gone through the website
http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-a-faq.htm & found that it is not possible to configure NTP server on Windows....is it practically true....??? If possible, do I need to use any additional NTP server software to configure it on Windows 2000/2003....??? Do you have any idea about freeware NTP server for Windows 2000/2003....???
If I go ahead with SMC as my central single NTP Server for the entire production setup, the configuration files ntp.conf on ppip1n & ppip2n are correct as NTP clients....??? In case of SMC system I need to remove the 10.100.102.254 entry which is pointing to Windows NTP Server....right...???
ntp.conf of smc01
(smc01)# more ntp.conf
# NTP Primary server
server 10.100.102.254 ------------------------- Remove this line
#server IP-address-of-secondary-ntp-server
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 9
enable auth monitor
driftfile /var/ntp/ntp.drift
statsdir /var/ntp/ntpstats/
filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable
filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable
Can you tell me what stratum value should I use on all the NTP client systems & on central NTP system (SMC)....???
Thanks & Regards,
