Step 5: Verify NTP configuration.
a. Use the show ntp associations command to verify that R2 has an NTP association with R1.
R2# show ntp associations
address ref clock st when poll reach delay offset disp
*~10.1.1.1 127.127.1.1 5 11 64 177 11.312 -0.018 4.298
* sys.peer, # selected, + candidate, - outlyer, x falseticker, ~ configured
b. Issue show clock on R1 and R2 to compare the timestamp.
Note: It could take a few minutes before the timestamp on R2 is synchronized with R1.
R1# show clock
09:43:32.799 UTC Fri Jul 5 2013
R2# show clock
09:43:37.122 UTC Fri Jul 5 2013
Part 3: Configure Syslog
Syslog messages from network devices can be collected and archived on a syslog server. In this lab, Tftpd32
will be used as the syslog server software. The network administrator can control the types of messages that
can be sent to the syslog server.
Step 1: (Optional) Install syslog server.
If a syslog server is not already installed on the PC, download and install the latest version of a syslog server,
such as Tftpd32, on the PC. The latest version of Tftpd32 can be found at the following link:
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
Step 2: Start the syslog server on PC-B.
After starting the Tftpd32 application, click the syslog server tab.
