rc10 minor bug

Tue Aug 16, 2005 6:04 pm

On the clock I have GMT set to -05:00 but it is 1 hour off. Seems to be doing -04:00 time. I tried several ntp servers and got the same results. Thought it was funny when my logs were an hour off.

Do you use daylight savings time, or does the NTP server?

ChangeIP yes we do have daylight savings time here. And now that you mention it I did not see a daylight savings time setting in the Mikrotik OS.

I guess there is no such thing as daylight savings when you base time off UTC... simply it's how it's displayed. Anyhow, as long as the UTC time is correct you should be okay, if you wish to have it display differently you can change the offset when daylight changes. It's a manual process at this time with MT - maybe in the future they will implement the daylight savings calendar. . . although I heard Bush just screwed with that calendar and changed the dates that we observe daylight savings time? Weird - I guess anyone with a vcr or computer is screwed in 2007.

Are you in CST? If so you use -5:00 when "in" daylight savings time, and -6:00 when "not in" daylight savings time.

I have not seen an option to automatically switch between the two in the software.

I am running rc10 and it is working ok for me. What NTP servers are you pointing to?

I am using the Argon National Labs public NTP servers.

130.126.24.44
130.126.24.53

Try one of these.

What would be nice is if the setting was set in the ntp server so when you set it on your main router it would update all the rest. We are already up to around 20+ RouterOS Ap's now and as that grows it's going to be quite the hassle to manually set the offset. But if it could be set on the main one which all the rest update off of than that would make it easy to do. So maybe they could implement a feature like that in the new version before release.

I dont think NTP has a place for time offset since that's done at the client. Once they implement the daylight savings calendar you wont have to manually change them. Maybe I will come up with a script that will auto adjust time on the right dates - I guess that would probably be just as easy.
