NTP problem

[jcohere]

I have two 2950's and neither will sync with an NTP server. I also have a 7206 on the same LAN has no problem synching up. NTP is allowed on the firewall. Any insight on this would be most helpful.


ntp clock-period 17179942
ntp server 192.5.41.41
ntp server 192.5.41.40

end

You don't have to point the 2950's directly to the server , try pointing it at the 7209 to pick your time off of that . I have seen the same type problem and normally just point it to the nearest device that does sync to the server.
