RFC 1305

It is expected that the primary clock source in a given environment is
sourced from equipment with a stratum 1 capable clock and
distributed by a dedicated NTP server.

The 7750/7450/7710 will act as an intermediate NTP time server for
downstream network elements and should not be used as the primary
clock source.

Needed for SAA and others as SNTP was not accurate enough

If both NTP and SNTP are enabled on the node , then SNTP transitions
to an operationally down state . If NTP is removed from the
configuration or shut down then SNTP resumes an operationally state
up.

Supports:

Client mode Accept time dont respond to requests

Server mode Accept time and transmit responses

Symmetric Active mode Peer to Peer for trusted nodes

Broadcast & Multicast support Separate client & server controls
(Multicast receive on management port only)

Support release 2,3 and 4* Accepts either. Transmits per configuration

Authentication DES & MD5, multiple keys supported

HA protected Sessions uninterrupted on CPU switchover

Server unreachable traps If all configured server are unreachable a
trap is generated.

Gradual Clock adjustment If the time is more then 128ms incorrect then a
programmed adjustment takes place.

Timestamp format

NTP timestamps are represented as a 64-bit unsigned fixed- point number,
in seconds relative to 0h on 1 January 1900. The integer part is in the first
32 bits and the fraction part in the last 32 bits.

Possible NTP states

State Description
Chosen 7KHSHHULVFKRVHQDVWKHVRXUFHRIV\QFKURQL]DWLRQ

Reject The peer is rejected and will not be used for synchronization.
Rejection reasons could be the peer is unreachable, the peer is
synchronized to this local server so synchronizing with it would
create a sync loop, or the synchronization distance is too large.

Invalid The peer is not maintaining an accurate clock. This peer will not be
used for synchronization.

Excess The peer's synchronization distance is greater than ten other

peers.This peer will not be used for synchronization.

Outlayer The peer is discarded as an outlayer. This peer will not be used for
synchronization.

Candidate The peer is accepted as a possible source of synchronization.

Inferior The peer is an acceptable source of synchronization, but it's

synchronization distance is greater than six other peers.

Generated when all of the configured servers, broadcast/multicast

servers, or peers are unreachable.

TRAP tmnxNtpServersAvail

Generated when one of the configured servers, broadcast/multicast

The "server available"trap does not mean that "synchronization" has been
achieved, just that an NTP server's pkts have been received.

1. Configure an SAA test as shown previously

2. Write a script using Notepad with the SAA test as a line in the script
a.Save the script with a easily recognisable name
b.FTP the script to a Compact Flash,preferably CF1:\ or CF2:\ or to a server

3.Configure a CRON Script with the location as the location of the script on the Compact Flash

4.Configure a CRON Action specifying the script configured in para 3 and also the location of where to send
results, this is most likely the same Compact Flash as the Script in para 2 is stored

5. Configure a CRON Schedule with the action specified in para 4 and a schedule type and periodicity

CRON script:

The script can be stored local (CF) or remote (FTP) and points to a CLI script
file

CRON action:

A results location (local or remote) must be specified and points to the file
that will be used for output redirection. For each scheduled run, a timestamp is
added to the configured results filename: _YYYYMMDD-hhmmss.out

The max-completed and expire-time parameters define how long an
action execution record is kept in the script run history (see later)

The lifetime parameter specifies how long a script may run. It is a protection
against a mis-configured scripts which runs away.

CRON schedule:

The schedule type can be one of :

Periodic (default): the CRON job is scheduled at regular time intervals.
The interval must be specified. (in seconds; min. 30 seconds)

Calendar: the CRON job is scheduled at calendar intervals. For example:
every Tuesday at 05:00 am

Oneshot: the CRON job is scheduled once at a specific day and time. For
example: Tuesday, May 2nd 2006 at 21:00.
When the action is scheduled, the schedule goes in operational down
(finished) state.

For calendar and oneshot, the minimum config must include: Month, weekday, day-of-
month, hour and minute

For each of the parameters month, day-of-month, weekday, hour and minute, multiple
values can be configured. The action is scheduled for each corresponding value.

When both day-of-month and weekday resolve to the same day, the action is only
scheduled once.

The objective of this lab is to configure a CRON job.

1. Configure an SAA test

A:PEx#configure saa test sdpping where sdpping is the test name

A:PEx>config>saa>test$ type sdp-ping x resp-sdp y (using suitable sdps on your
router)
A:PEx>config>saa>test$ no shutdown
A:PEx>config>saa>test$ exit
A:PEx#show saa

2. Run your saa test to prove it works

A:PEx#oam saa sdpping start (or stop) to start the test

A:PEx#show saa sdpping - to see results
A:PEx#clear saa sdpping - to clear results (this
also stops the test)

3. Create your test script using notepad

show time
echo ==========
clear saa sdpping
oam saa sdpping start
sleep 20
show saa sdpping

Save the script as saa.txt and ftp it to cf3:\ on a router or cf2:\ on a Sim

4. Create your cron job

A:PEx#configure cron schedule 60 secs

A:PEx>config>cron>sched#type periodic
A:PEx>config>cron>sched#interval 60
A:PEx>config>cron>sched#action run_saa_test

Tips and tricks

Results file management:
 periodic and/or calendar CRON scripts can generate numerous results
files
 The operator must take care of results file management (delete old
files) to save disk space.

Weekday & Day-of-month:
 Mandatory parameters for schedule types oneshot and calendar
 Default they are unconfigured (no day-of-month, no weekday)
 If you want to configure a weekday, independent from the day-of-
month, configure day-of-month all
 If you want to configure a day-of-month, independent from the
weekday, configure weekday all

 CRON script run history
Lab Exercises NTP and CRON 8 12 40

For each scheduled action, an action execution record is kept in the script
run history:

Record is deleted when:

A:PE-1# show cron action myaction The number of records in the
. . . script run history exceeds the
configured max-completed

CRON script run history 8 12 41

As long as there are action execution records (run history entries) attached
to an action, the action cannot be shutdown. Use the clear command to
force deletion:

A:PE-1>config>cron>action# info
----------------------------------------------
results "cf2:/cron-results/myscript"
script "myscript" owner "admin"
no shutdown
----------------------------------------------
A:PE-1>config>cron>action# shutdown
MINOR: SYSTEM #2518 Cannot 'shutdown' because there are associated
run history entries

A:PE-1# clear cron action completed

WARNING: CLI Cleared run history entry #3347 for action "myaction
created by owner "admin".

 CRON interaction with set-time
Lab Exercises NTP and CRON 8 12 42

Schedule type calendar:

when you set the time to something different, the CRON job will be scheduled
correctly based on the time change that was made. It dynamically adjusts to the
change made to the system time.

Schedule type oneshot:

If a oneshot CRON schedule is finished and then you adjust the time so that it is
before the one-shot's schedule, the CRON script will fire again.

CRON security 8 12 43

The default owner for CRON schedule, action and script is TiMOS-
CLI.

It is recommended that the user who configures CRON have the
same access rights as the "admin" user. In the current release a
user can workaround his profile restrictions with CRON scripts.
