hi,
you can check on this page:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios124/124cr/hcf_r/cfn_05h.htm#wp1046533
look for NTP command. hope can help a bit.
some thoughts:
1. we should not set the ntp clock-period. the router set automatically.
2. i see the time configurations on both routers are quite different. think
it might be helpful to set them closer.
plan to do some experiment when get chance, plz keep me posted on this
issue.
Regards
Steve
