Configure Cisco router as an NTP server

contributed by qmchenry on June 19, 2006 under Cisco router

An NTP server can provide synchronized date and times for devices in a network. Since a router cannot be a Stratum 1 device (cannot connect to a Stratum 0 device such as a GPS clock), a router is not an accurate source of time information. If this is not important to you, then using a router as an NTP server may be acceptable.

Configure Cisco router to set time from NTP server

contributed by qmchenry on under Cisco router

Using NTP to synchronize the date and time of multiple devices makes sense even in a small network. When performing forensic analyses or troubleshooting connection problems, having consistent logging timestamps from multiple devices can save your life. Well, at least help keep your hair attached to your head.

Set the telnet source IP address for a Cisco router

contributed by qmchenry on June 18, 2006 under Cisco router

The default source IP address when telnetting from a Cisco router is that of the interface closest to the destination. Because some access lists may block traffic from the default IP address, or to help test access lists, it may be useful to temporarily or permanently set the telnet source IP address.
