I have a network that is running on Brocade layer 3 switches. I need these switches to be synced with NTP. The computer that I need to use is running Windows 7 and has services such as Win32time that use SNTP but no native NTP support. So far I have tried using the SNTP to serve the switches as this should work in theory based on the SNTP RFC 2030. I was able to verify that SNTP was working correctly with a Brocade FCX layer 3 switch but the ICX switches didn't work.
My next thought was to use the NTPd windows port. I have had nothing but issues with it from config files not working to the service flat out failing to start. I have tried it with the Meinberg companion tool found at https://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/sw/ntp-server-monitor.htm I have also tried it by itself.
At this point I am looking for any way to reliably serve NTP from a Windows 7 computer. If anyone has any tools they use or a really good walk through of the NTPd windows port setup that would be perfect.
This application must use NTP not SNTP.
