Description

Device shows system uptime of 1 hour however the interfaces  (interfaces including ae, et, xe) shows uptime of 4 hours.

Symptoms

  1. After the reboot, System uptime is 1 hour.
  2. FPC uptime is 1 hour.
  3. But some of the interfaces shows uptime as 4 hours (interfaces including ae, et, xe).

Solution

  • Some of the interfaces shows incorrect uptime due to NTP Server being not in sync during the time of reboot.

  • This is a transient ntp problem and the NTP clock sync will be auto-corrected.
