Hi,
I have an SRX box, that is connected to a NTP server (which is synchronized to pool.ntp.org).
I want the SRX to server time to other switches and firewalls, however it does not seem to work.
NTP Server (10.31.8.3) -> SRX (Server, 10.31.251.1) -> EX (Client, 10.31.251.2)
This is the SRX that I want to act as an NTP server for some clients:
root@CLY-S1-FWBCK-01> show configuration system ntp
boot-server 10.31.8.3;
server 10.31.8.3 prefer;
source-address 10.31.238.6;
{primary:node0}
root@CLY-S1-FWBCK-01> show ntp associations
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
*10.31.8.3 193.55.167.2 3 - 50 64 377 1.544 1.407 1.196
{primary:node0}
root@CLY-S1-FWBCK-01> show ntp status
status=0644 leap_none, sync_ntp, 4 events, event_peer/strat_chg,
version="ntpd 4.2.0-a Thu Aug 22 06:38:40 UTC 2013 (1)",
processor="octeon", system="JUNOS11.4R9.4", leap=00, stratum=4,
precision=-17, rootdelay=11.106, rootdispersion=60.095, peer=49636,
refid=10.31.8.3,
reftime=d639e4b1.426630fb Fri, Nov 22 2013 15:12:01.259, poll=6,
clock=d639e527.10593258 Fri, Nov 22 2013 15:13:59.063, state=4,
offset=1.357, frequency=1.112, jitter=1.257, stability=0.007
So it seems alright to me, stratum 4 and synchronized to our NTP server 10.31.8.3.
However when I try to sync an EX switch to this SRX, it does not work:
{master:0}
root@CLY-S0-SWBCK-01> ping 10.31.251.1 rapid

Any idea of what might going on here? Any parameters I might have missed on the SRX?
Many thanks,
