Hi,

i'm new here and have a question I couldn't answer by myself by
searching the internet and reading the documentation for hours.

I have a DCF77 Clock connected to the UART. The line in the ntp.conf
looks like this:

server 127.127.8.0 mode 5 prefer

Receiving the time works, but when I disconnect the DCF77-Receiver from
the UART, ntpq -p says that ntpd still synchronizes with it for minutes
(about 4), until it changes to another clock.

I want that the ntpd changes the synchronization source as soon as no
signal is received for a few seconds.

How can I achieve this?

The only thing that does something similar, that I can imagine, are the
minpoll maxpoll parameters.

But even then it will take up to 32 seconds until the reference source
is changed, correct?

 

Best Regards

Sebastian
