F5OS Velos
Fixed In:
F5OS-C 1.6.0, F5OS-A 1.4.0
Opened: Aug 18, 2022 Severity: 3-Major
The default configuration of a VELOS system is for external NTP to be disabled. This means that even if user-specified NTP servers are configured, they will not be used until the overall NTP feature is enabled. Additionally, the overall NTP enablement value is not reflected in the output of 'show running-config system ntp' in controller ConfD.
Behavior is confusing or concerning to users who do not realize that they need to enable NTP for their configuration to take effect.
System is running with default NTP configuration and user configures an external NTP server.
To work around the issue, users must enable external NTP: syscon-1-active(config)# system ntp config enabled syscon-1-active(config)# commit Commit complete.
System is configured to use user-specified NTP servers by default, and reports NTP enablement value in running config.
