Discarding NTP Configuration Changes

commit the NTP configuration changes without implementing the session feature, the NTP configurations
are distributed to all the switches in the fabric.
To commit the NTP configuration changes, perform this task:

Releasing Fabric Session Lock

If you have performed an NTP fabric task and have forgotten to release the lock by either committing or
discarding the changes, an administrator can release the lock from any switch in the fabric. If the administrator
performs this task, your changes to the pending database are discarded and the fabric lock is released.
The changes are only available in the volatile directory and are subject to being discarded if the switch is
restarted.
To use administrative privileges and release a locked NTP session, use the clear ntp session command.
switch# clear ntp session

Database Merge Guidelines

When merging two fabrics, follow these guidelines:
• Be aware that the merge is a union of the existing and the received database in each switch in the fabric.
• Do not configure an IP address as a server on one switch and as a peer on another switch. The merge
can fail if this configuration exists.
• Verify that the union of the databases does not exceed the maximum limit of 64.

NTP Session Status Verification

To verify the status of the NTP session, use the show ntp session-status command.
switch# show ntp session-status
