Re: NTP question

I duplicated this behavior in the real rack. The symptom is same.

There is another way to resolve it.
  Step 1: ntp master

  Wait the ntp master "sane" with 127.127.7.1
  Step 2: ntp access-group serve-only 1

   It works without 127.127.7.1 in access-list 1.

If you configure "ntp access-group serve-only" before "ntp master", you have
to put 127.127.7.1 in access-list. You can include 127.127.7.1 in
access-list for either "ntp access-group peer" or "ntp access-group
serve-only".
