Hi, We have a closed network of embedded devices that we want to keep in sync, the actual time is not important but the fact that they are all on the same time is. One device is always the master so this is the device that we want the others to synchronise to.
Reading the documentation broadcast mode looks perfect. I'm currently trying it out with the following configuration: # Broadcast Server broadcast 192.168.2.255 ttl 1 server 127.127.1.0 fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 14 ... # Broadcast Client broadcastclient server 127.127.1.0 fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 14 ... I've seen what look like valid messages being exchanged using tcpdump but haven't seen any evidence that the times are converging but I haven't really left it long enough. In the meantime I have read this link http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-config-adv.htm#AEN3658 which seems to indicate that this setup is not possible. So my question is Is broadcast mode with LCL a non started and if so what is the best method for a private network that you need to keep in sync? I'm using the latest version 4.2.8p8, built using Yocto for an ARM cortex A8.
