NTP Broadcast / Broadcast-client

  • 1.  NTP Broadcast / Broadcast-client

    Posted 08-29-2024 08:58

    Good morning folks,

    I have been doing some reading, studying and labbing. I have been trying for the last couple of days to get the NTP broadcast/broadcast-client working between three vMX routers. I also have a Cisco router in there as well. This is all mocked up in EVE-NG.

    1) R1 is the Broadcast server. It has the simple configuration under the system/ntp stanza

                "broadcast 10.10.1.255" <----broadcast address of subnet

    2) R2 and R3 have the "broadcast-client" configured - that is all under the system/ntp stanza.

    3) R4 is Cisco router set up as an ntp c;lient as well and configured under the interface connected to the network  to be a broadcast client

    I am able to see NTP packets on each wire with source 10.10.1.1 ----->> 10.10.1.255 for R2, R3 and R4 from R1 when capturing packets.

    R4 which is the Cisco router picks up the broadcast packet and syncs its clock - R2 and R3 nothing.

    Has anyone been able to get this broadcast/broadcast-client config  to work ?

    Thank you for your time,


    Raul
