The event-monitor backup max-size command specifies the quantity of event monitor backup files the switch maintains. Values range from 1 to 200 files with a default of ten files.

The event-monitor backup path command specifies the path/name of these files. The switch appends an extension to the file name that tracks the creation order of backup files. When the quantity of files exceeds the configured limit, the switch deletes the oldest file.

The no event-monitor backup max-size and default event-monitor backup max-size command restores the default maximum number of backup files the switch can store to ten by removing the corresponding event-monitor backup max-size command from running-config.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Command Syntax

event-monitor backup max-size file_quantity

no event-monitor backup max-size

default event-monitor backup max-size

Parameters

• file_quantitymaximum number of backup files. Value ranges from 1 to 200. Default is 10.

Examples

• These commands configure the switch to back up the event buffer to a series of files named sw-event.log. The switch can store a maximum of four files.

  switch(config)#event-monitor backup path sw-event.log
  switch(config)#event-monitor backup max-size 4
  switch(config)#
  

The first five files that the switch creates to store event monitor buffer contents are:

sw-event.log.0

sw-event.log.1

sw-event.log.2

sw-event.log.3

sw-event.log.4

The switch deletes sw-event.log.0 the first time it verifies the number of existing backup files after the creation of sw-event.log.4.

The event-monitor backup path command enables the storage of the event monitor buffer to switch files and specifies the path/name of these files. The command references the file location either from the flash drive root directory (/mnt/flash) where the CLI operates or from the switch root directory (/).

The event monitor buffer is circular after the buffer is filled, new data is written to the beginning of the buffer, replacing old data. At the conclusion of each buffer writing cycle, it is copied into a new backup file before the switch starts re-writing the buffer. The switch appends a extension number to the file name when it creates a new file. After every 500 events, the switch deletes the oldest backup file if the file limit specified by the event-monitor backup max-size command is exceeded.

running-config can contain a maximum of one event-monitor backup path statement. Subsequent event-monitor backup path commands replace the existing statement in running-config, changing the name of the file where event monitor backup files are stored.

The no event-monitor backup path and default event-monitor backup path commands disable the storage of the event monitor buffer to switch files by deleting the event-monitor backup path command from running-config.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Command Syntax

event-monitor backup path URL_FILE

no event-monitor backup path

default event-monitor backup path

Parameters

• URL_FILE path and file name of the backup file
  • path_string specified path is appended to /mnt/flash/
  • file: path_string specified path is appended to /
  • flash: path_string specified path is appended to /mnt/flash/

The event-monitor buffer max-size command specifies the size of the event monitor buffer. The event monitor buffer is a fixed-size circular data structure that receives event records from the event monitor. When event monitor backup is enabled (event-monitor backup path), the buffer is copied to a backup file before each rollover.

Buffer size ranges from 6 Kb to 50 Kb. The default size is 32 Kb.

The no event-monitor buffer max-size and default event-monitor buffer max-size commands restore the default buffer size of 32 Kb by removing the event-monitor buffer max-size command from running-config.

• These commands configure ethernet interface 5 to deny incoming NTP requests regardless of global settings.

  switch(config)#interface ethernet 5
  switch(config-if-Et5)#no ntp serve
  switch(config-if-Et5)#

• These commands configure ethernet interface 5 to use global settings in responding to incoming NTP requests.

  switch(config)#interface ethernet 5
  switch(config-if-Et5)#default ntp serve
  switch(config-if-Et5)#

The ntp server command adds a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to running-config. If the command specifies a server that already exists in running-config, it will modify the server settings. The switch synchronizes the system clock with an NTP server when running-config contains at least one valid NTP server.

The switch supports NTP versions 1 through 4. The default is version 4.

The prefer option specifies a preferred NTP server, which will be used as the NTP server if not discarded by NTP.

The no ntp server and default ntp server commands remove the specified NTP server from running-config. To remove an NTP server configured in a user-defined VRF, include the VRF name in the no ntp server command.

no ntp server [VRF_INSTANCE] SERVER_NAME

default ntp server [VRF_INSTANCE] SERVER_NAME

All parameters except VRF_INSTANCE and SERVER_NAME can be placed in any order.

Parameters

• VRF_INSTANCE the VRF instance to be used for connection to the specified server.
  • <no parameter> connects using the default VRF.
  • vrf vrf_name connects using the specified user-defined VRF.
• SERVER_NAME NTP server location. Options include:
  • IP address in dotted decimal notation
  • an FQDN host name
• PREFERENCE indicates priority of this server when the switch selects a synchronizing server.
  • <no parameter> server has no special priority.
  • prefer server has priority when the switch selects a synchronizing server.
• NTP_VERSION specifies the NTP version. Settings include:
  • <no parameter> sets NTP version to 4 (default).
  • version number, where number ranges from 1 to 4.
• IP_SOURCE specifies the source interface for NTP updates for the specified NTP server. This option overrides global settings created by the ntp local-interface command. Options include:
  • <no parameter> sets the source interface to the global default.
  • source ethernet e_num ethernet interface specified by e_num.
  • source loopback l_num loopback interface specified by l_num.
  • source management m_num management interface specified by m_num.
  • source port-channel p_num port-channel interface specified by p_num.
  • source vlan v_num VLAN interface specified by v_num.
• burst indicates that when the NTP server is reached, the switch sends packets to the server in bursts of eight instead of the usual one. Recommended only for local servers. Off by default.
• iburst indicates that the switch sends packets to the server in bursts of eight instead of the usual one until the server is reached. Recommended for general use to speed synchronization. Off by default.
• AUTH_KEY the authentication key to use in authenticating NTP packets from the server.
  • <no parameter> no authentication key is specified.
  • key <1 to 65534> switch will use the specified key to authenticate NTP packets from the server.
• MAX_POLL_INT specifies the maximum polling interval for the server (as the base-2 logarithm of the interval in seconds). Settings include:
  • <no parameter> sets the maximum polling interval to 10 (1,024 seconds, the default).
  • maxpoll number, where number is the base-2 logarithm of the interval in seconds. Values range from 3 (8 seconds) to 17 (131,072 seconds, approximately 36 hours).
• MIN_POLL_INT specifies the minimum polling interval for the server (as the base-2 logarithm of the interval in seconds). Settings include:
  • <no parameter> sets the minimum polling interval to 6 (64 seconds, the default).
  • minpoll number, where number is the base-2 logarithm of the interval in seconds. Values range from 3 (8 seconds) to 17 (131,072 seconds, approximately 36 hours).

Guidelines

To configure multiple parameters for a single server, include them all in a single ntp server command. Using the command again for the same server overwrites parameters previously configured in running-config.

All NTP servers must use the same VRF. If no VRF is specified, the server is configured in the default VRF. To use a user-defined VRF for connection to an NTP server, first use the no ntp server command to remove any NTP servers configured in the default VRF.

When specifying a source interface, choose an interface in the same VRF as the server. If the source interface is not in the same VRF, the source data will be included in running-config but will not be added to NTP packets.

An NTP server may be configured using an invalid or inactive VRF, but the status of the NTP server will remain inactive until the VRF is active.

Examples

• This command configures the switch to update its time with the NTP server at address 172.16.0.23 and designates it as a preferred NTP server.

  switch(config)#ntp server 172.16.0.23 prefer  

• This command configures the switch to update its time through an NTP server named local-nettime.

   switch(config)#ntp server local-nettime  

• This command configures the switch to update its time through a version 3 NTP server.

  switch(config)#ntp server 171.18.1.22 version 3  

• These commands reconfigure the switch to access the above NTP servers through VRF magenta.

  switch(config)#no ntp server 172.16.0.23
  switch(config)#no ntp server local-nettime
  switch(config)#no ntp server 171.18.1.22
  switch(config)#ntp server vrf magenta 172.16.0.23 prefer
  switch(config)#ntp server vrf magenta local-nettime
  switch(config)#ntp server vrf magenta 171.18.1.22 version 3
  switch(config)#

The ntp trusted-key command specifies which authentication keys will be trusted for authentication of NTP packets. A packet with a trusted key will be used to update the local time if authenticated.

The no ntp trusted-key and default ntp trusted-key commands remove the specified authentication keys from the trusted key list by removing the corresponding ntp trusted-key command from running-config.

Command Syntax

show ntp associations

Display Values

• refid (reference ID): the reference ID of the configured NTP server’s time source.The reference ID is either the IPv4 address of the source or (if the source has an IPv6 address) the first four octets of the MD5 hash of the IPv6 address.
• st (stratum): number of steps between the switch and the reference clock.
• t (transmission type): u unicast; b broadcast; l local.
• when: interval since reception of last packet (seconds unless unit is provided).
• poll: interval between NTP poll packets. Maximum (1024) reached as server and client syncs.
• reach: octal number that displays status of last eight NTP messages (377 - all messages received).
• delay: round trip delay of packets to selected reference clock.
• offset: difference between local clock and reference clock.
• jitter: maximum error of local clock relative to reference clock.

The show ntp status command displays the status of NTP on the switch. If the switch clock is not synchronized to an NTP server, the status reads “unsynchronised” and shows the server polling interval. If the clock is synchronized to an NTP server, the status shows the IP address and stratum of the server, the precision of the synchronization, and the polling interval.

Command Mode

EXEC

Command Syntax

show ntp status

Example

• This command displays the switch’s NTP status.

  switch>show ntp status
  synchronised to NTP server (192.168.78.62) at stratum 3
   time correct to within 66 ms
   polling server every 1024 s
