NTP Issue
-
I'm thinking that it's a kernel level problem now.
no its not.. I use a local ntp server - and there are zero issues syncing time from it both on 24.11 and 2.8..
There are many people here running their own local ntp - its not a pfsense issue.. Its something unique to your setup.
"Anyway, the second NTP server has two interfaces which can be independently configured"
Why would you have your ntp server mult-homed. But that could be a problematic if firewall is blocking it because of changes in rules - where traffic not allowed unless you set states back to floating.
the only way I can duplicate your problem is if I set custom acl so that my ntp server is ignored

Well, it's not unique to mine if at least five other people had the same thing happen when they updated to 2.7.Ordinarily, I wouldn't have the NTP server multi homed.
That particular server has two ports. One for admin and NTP and the other for only responding to NTP requests. That's the side that I'd have available to the internet if I wasn't on asynchronous It occurred to me that I could simulate another network for faultfinding with that port, so I configured it to have it's own A class network. It works perfectly for everything plugged into it, except the firewall.On the weekend, I'm going to configure the SG-1100 and see what it does when it's plugged into that port.
It is just incredibly annoying that my original NTP test lab setup had up to six stratum one NTP servers of various types and everything talked to them. I've designed and installed industry best practice NTP systems for federal government departments and absolutely everything in them never had an issue once it was correctly configured. I'd never seen literally thousands of machines all within sub millisecond sync before.
And then I got my pfsense box and had it graphing with good numbers and then excellent numbers with a local NTP server, so was starting to increase the count when 2.7 turned up.... and then that was the end of things.I was hoping that 2.8 would mysteriously fix it, particularly when people were talking about patches. I have one resource who is a FreeBSD god and I'm at the point of inviting him over, but I'll never hear the end of not keeping my FreeBSD server running...

Ha! Sometimes it's a price you have to pay.
But I'd be amased if the ntp client in pfSense is actually seeing the replies from the server. It's almost certainly being dropped somehow before it reaches it.The only other thing I can think of would be the client itself rejecting the replies but since you're not using any sort of ntp auth I have no idea why it would.
How are you checking this traffic? I would want to use pcaps on either end to be sure. Make sure the IPs and MACs all line up.
But also checking the outbound ntp state on the firewall. That must show two way traffic if replies are coming back and being passed.
Yes the interface bound states change would be my first suspect here except that it wasn't in 2.7.X.

Yup that is a very simple sanity check for sure.

@stephenw10
The thought occurred to me that the easiest way to ensure that the firewall can actually see the traffic is to let the NTPmonitor running on my workstation, query the second port of the NTP server via OPT2.There are no other paths to get to it, as it's one ethernet cable joining the firewall to the NTP server.
NTPmonitor found it instantly, and can poll it constantly, so that traffic is going back and forth through the port on the firewall, and is also being routed from the LAN port to the OPT2 port and back, by the firewall.
This tends to suggest to me that there are no firewall rules obstructing it and the traffic is just fine. -
@admacdo and what does your states show - there is a difference from sending a query from a different network. For when pfsense asks?
If you do not see return traffic via the state - then for some reason that traffic was not processed.. Even if there was something as you mention in the kernel - which is no way the issue.. The state would still be listed as traffic was returned.
While its clear there is something going on - nobody else that I am aware has been able to duplicate the problem.. pfsense talks to my ntp server just fine. Steve can not duplicate it either.
But if your state is not showing return traffic - then the ntp client which is farther up the stack, if the firewall isn't allowing it via completion of the state. The ntp client would never see it.

@johnpoz
Can we pretend (or not pretend)at this point that I'm an idiot and demo the commands I can put in a command line to show this information? -
Just go to Diag > States in the webgui and filter by
:123to see the ntp states.You should see a state on the interface connected to the ntp server with no corresponding state on another interface. That will be the state opened from the firewall itself.
It's usually pretty obvious but you likely have a bunch of ntp states so it might be more difficult to spot.
-
I note that the states can timeout so may not always be there. I restarted ntpd to force it to reach out to get that screenshot. But you could just wait. You can see two way traffic on that state though.
-
@stephenw10
The top two are the local NTP servers.

Thanks for that, by the way. I tend to only look and remember exactly what I'm looking for in a list. I had no idea this option was available.
-
That's in 2.7.2? I note the states are shown as on 'all' interfaces. Which should be fine but potentially could hide an asymmetric route. It wouldn't block ntp though.
So it looks like two traffic to both servers. I assume they are still reported as 'unreach'?
I would next run a pcap for that traffic and see what's actually being sent.
If you enable all the logging in ntpd do you see any additional errors?
-
Only error is the bad checksum.
This is logging everything on the OPT2 port because that's all that port does.22:12:10.232164 60:be:b4:07:c6:17 > a6:4c:5e:80:2e:fb, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 90: (tos 0xb8, ttl 64, id 16199, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 76)

There should be some processing time.. even if it was 0.000000001
edit: here is my pfsense talking to my pi ntp server..

Also this makes no sense either.. So client talking to the ntp server, gets its answer in .000137 seconds.. So .1 of a ms.. Is your ntp server on the same VM host as your pfsense? How are you sending traffic over ethernet to some other device and getting an answer in .1 of a ms?
Even the best of networks your going to be looking at like .5 of a ms..
so your client (pfsense) talking to your ntp server sent a query over the wire, and got its response in 137 micro seconds.. And your ntp server took not even 1 nano second to process it? Something not right there..

Hmm, interesting. I understand it's probably a very good ntp server but....
-
@stephenw10 yeah something is screwy.. Did he say his other client set time off this.. But are they using actual ntp, or just a sntp/timedate sort of client? this just pulls the time at that moment - it doesn't do any sort of adjustments on the client clock to keep them in sync - and doubt it cares about these numbers.. But I know a normal ntp client uses these numbers in calculating delay, etc. Maybe those numbers being the same is throwing off the calculation so ntp doesn't accept the response?
All I know is it seems odd that the ntp server would have exact numbers like that.
-
Woah. This is what happens when you post when you really want to go to bed. I did a quick look for errors and totally ignored the numbers.
Some of the clients around the house are using SNTP because they're dumb boxes, but the main windows machines are running with a real NTP client from Meinberg and they're calculating the delay, offset and jitter with no issues. I'll do some more captures later and pay more attention. It's new car day, so I've got distractions .I may have to resurrect the Pi NTP servers and see what happens when they're supplying data. About five years ago, I had five of them with various GPS input, all comparing against each other to test peering and delay interaction.
There are no VM's in the house at this point. -
@stephenw10
Yeah, no NTP servers are that good. Even the 10 gigabit ones with reflectors..
