Configuring NTP for IPv6 on Cisco Networks
Configuring NTP for IPv6 on Cisco Networks
In my last blog I discussed Configuring HSRP for IPv6 on Cisco Networks. Since it was already on my mind, I decided to continue the IPv6-oriented blogging and show how to configure and verify NTP for IPv6. Let’s see how it works.
First, let’s see the topology I am using, shown in figure 1:
For instructor-led Cisco training see our CCNA class schedule.
Figure 1-NTP for IPv6 topology
I will not show the configuration of the IPv6 addresses on the interfaces or the routing (it is all static for this scenario), I will just show the IPv6 – NTP – related configs.
On R1, figure 2 shows the relevant config:
Figure 2-R1 NTP config
Figure 3 shows what is happening on R2:
Figure 3-R2 NTP config
It turns out that the IPv6 address shown in figure 3 is the IPv6 address that is on loopback 100 of R1. The last piece is R3. Figure 4 shows that:
Figure 4-R3 NTP config
In like manner, the IPv6 address shown in figure 4 is the IPv6 address that is configured on R2’s loopback 100 interface.
Now let’s verify NTP messages are occurring. I issued a couple of debug commands on R2, shown in figure 5:
Figure 5-R3 R2 debug output
Clearly I can verify that the NTP messages are appearing, and most assuredly they in IPv6 format! I’m thinking this IPv6 thing is eventually going to take off! J
Since we are here, let’s check the clock on R3:
Figure 6-R3 R3 show clock detail
And that’s the way it is, Friday, September 11th, 2015.
If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to post them….
Until next time.

Configuring Windows Mobility Center and How to Turn it On and Off
1 1434 1Video transcription Steve Fullmer: In our Windows training courses, we often share information about the Windows 8.1 Mobility Center. Mobility Center was introduced for mobile and laptop devices in Windows 7. It’s present and somewhat enhanced in Windows 8. Since we don’t have mobile devices in our classrooms, I decided to take a little bit … Continue reading Configuring Windows Mobility Center and How to Turn it On and Off
