Hello, I have a question regarding broadcast mode. I have 6 machines synchronizing with the same ntp server. That server uses uses a local ntp displined clock (we are looking into a GPS one). The machines are connected via 1 Gbps switch. The network is lightly loaded and I configured the clients as such
server ntp minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 iburst Howerver, I notice that two clients have a relatively large offset from the ntp server (greater than 100 micro-seconds according to "ntpq -p"). I considered setting the server into broadcast mode and enabling broadcastclient on the clients to avoid 6 machines polling the same server every 16 seconds. I have two questions regarding this. What is the syntax for setting the frequency of broadcasts on the server? Also, how can I check the approximate time offset between the clients and the server? Should I then peer each client with the ntp server and rely on broadcast messages for time synchronization?
