Hi Dave, Thanks for your help. I used broadcastdelay in my client's config, but client is still trying to send unicast messages to server after receiving multicast messages from server. Below is my clients config:- # cat /etc/ntp.conf multicastclient 224.0.1.1 broadcastdelay 0.08 disable auth driftfile /var/log/ntp/drift logfile /var/log/ntp/ntp.log
I am running ntpd using following command:- /usr/sbin/ntpd -g -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid I can see that server is continuously sending multicast packets to client, but client is not able to sync. Please check if there is any thing wrong in my config. Kindly help Regards, Atul.
