Message: NTP query to configured external clock servers(s) failed. Local clock time will be used.
Message Type: LOG
Severity: WARNING
Probable Cause: Indicates a network time protocol (NTP) query to the configured external clock server failed. When next server is not configured local clock time is used for synchronization. This might be logged during temporary operational issues such as IP network connection issues to the external clock server. If it does not recur, it can be ignored.
Recommended Action: Verify the configured external clock server is available and functional. If that external clock server is not available, choose another.
Message: <Type of clock server used> Clock Server used instead of <Type of clock server configured>: locl: 0x<Reference ID of LOCL> remote: 0x<Reference ID of external clock server>.
Message Type: LOG
Severity: INFO
Probable Cause: Indicates that the switch time synchronization was sourced from an alternate clock server instead of the configured clock server. The clock server used can be one of the following type:
• LOCL - Local switch clock.
• External - External Network Time Protocol (NTP) server address configured.
This message may be logged during temporary operational issues such as IP network connection issues to the external clock server. If the message does not recur, it can be ignored.
Recommended Action: Execute the show ntp status command to verify that the switch clock server IP address is configured correctly.
Verify if this clock server is accessible to the switch and functional. If it is not accessible or functional, configure an accessible and functional clock server or reset the clock server to local clock server (LOCL).
Message: <New clock server used> Clock Server used instead of <Old server configured>. System time changed from <Old time> to <New time>.
Message Type: LOG
Severity: INFO
Probable Cause: Indicates that the source of switch time synchronization was changed to another configured clock server because the Network Time Protocol (NTP) query to the current active external clock server failed.
Recommended Action: No action is required. New clock server synchronization will adjust the clock time.
Message:Event: change time: attempt.
Message Type: AUDIT
Class: SECURITY
