Its been months now and the NTP server on my mikrotik CCR1036 still hasnt worked despite the various firmware updates, nor the NTP client either. I have a GPS that updates the time in routerOS but i cant get that accurate time to my LAN clients.
Can it be same problem as I describe here?
http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/ntp-client-bug/104619/1
not really, my dynamic servers field is also empty as i also never did use my ISP’s DNS, i use pool.ntp.org.
However i should not need to worry about ntp client as i have a GPS to update the router.
The problem im having is with ntp server not client, client works fine.
Edit: i figured out the problem. In the past ntp client wasnt working and now it is, the ntp server will only work if ntp client is enabled which is a problem as GPS time can be more accurate. Im trying to make my router be a stratum-0 ntp server.
When updating to version 6.39.2 both ntp client has stopped working.
My cliente Ntp config
/system ntp client> print
enabled: yes
mode: unicast
primary-ntp: 195.66.241.2
secondary-ntp: 129.250.35.250
dynamic-servers:
status: started
Actually comparing different RB with version 6.39.2 vs 6.38.1 I see that the problem is not the client, but the server that has stopped responding
/system ntp server> print
enabled: yes
broadcast: yes
multicast: yes
manycast: yes
broadcast-addresses:
Queries made by ntp of v.6.38.1 are not returned, but we also have that client queries, made to the master servers, are not resolved either.
Hello,
I can confirm the same behavior regarding the build-in SNTP server and the firmware change to 6.39.1 and 6.39.2 from 6.38.x.
The Routerboard model is 2011UiAS with firmware ar9344 v3.33
We are syncing the Routerboard with a server and we use it as a time server to time sync other devices attached to it. However, this functionality has ceased after the firmware update to v6.39.2.
Any fix?
try these things, the first thing i did was to change my NTP servers.
Secondly check your ntp server broadcast settings. For example on the default IP it should be 192.168.88.255
I also have a GPS attached to my router too, however i designed a loop to make it use itself as for updates.
So first thing was i got GPS working and setting the clock.
In the NTP servers i set the first one to my router (default 192.168.88.1), second one to a specific ip in the public ntp pool.
In the server settings i used broadcast and multicast.
Make sure the ntp client synchronises first. Make sure it says synchronised, wait a few seconds than try to test out the ntp server.
