asked on

NTP commands in IOS 12.4T?

Where are they/where'd they go!? Lol

I've never noticed this before, but they're not there in 12.4(15)T7. Only sntp. What's up with that!?

Platform is C850.

what router image are you using?

Okay, I know that they do not have it in the image, I'm just asking why the heck not!? WTF is the point of getting rid of NTP and leaving SNTP?
Is Cisco crazy?
(BTW I already checked the FN - i know that's what you were going to do...)
Sorry, I thought you were asking why it didn't technically, not philosophically :)

That is pretty dumb, though.  It looks like there is only one 12.4 image that works on that too.  I think it's a ploy to make you by a more expensive router.  Well, Just for the heck of it, here's a cool article about how to make a consumer grade router have most features that Cisco routers have:

lrmoore: you're using a 2800 router.  He is using one of those much smaller 850 series mainly meant for SOHO installations

Okay - I'm usually the one answering questions but now I'm stuck. I increased the points too.
I deleted the 12.4(15)T7 and uploaded 12.4(6)T11 so I could get NTP back on the device.
In my rush I forgot to verify the checksum of the image and rebooted with a corrupt image.
I've now tried every combination of sending breaks before boot, after boot, and during boot and I cannot get into ROMMON mode to upload the 12.4(6)T11 image with XMODEM over the console cable.
I'm used to just sending breaks and it will immediately stop the boot and go into ROMMON. Instead, ROMMON never comes up and the boot just fails with the well known checksum failed, corrupt image, blah blah message.
Any ideas? If I can just get ROMMON I'll be good to go.
Ahh nevermind. Finally got it to work.
Hmmm. Stupid missing NTP.
Maybe they'll put NTP back in IOS 12.5.
Yeah right. I guess I'll keep dreaming.
Thanks and cheers! :)
