Verify NTP

Hi,

 

 

Is there a way to verify that an F5 Big-IP device is syncronising with the defined NTP server?

 

 

Thanks,

  • Hi Aaron,

     

     

    Thanks for the post. We have Big-IP GTMs, and I can't seem to run that command, even though it is a supported version and hardware. We only have access to the GTMs via the web interface, and I can only bring up the console via the web interface. The command doesn't seem to be available via that console (I get the error BIGpipe parsing error: 012e0008:3: The requested command (ntpq) is invalid). Do I need to SSH or physically console onto the device to run that command?

     

     

    Thanks,

  • yeah, the ntpq command is not valid in the bigpipe shell. Run it from ssh or serial console access.
  • My f5 shows identical time but still says its 600 secs apart i really dont get f5's -.-
