Hi Tim,
Yes, I tried it and things work ok either way in the lab, which is why I
was intrigued by the book's recommendations. It just made me wonder
whether there was some subtle reason why ntp broadcast was better over
NBMA than using a server/client configuration.
Cheers,
Chris

Chris,
I doubt that that is completely true.
I haven't tested this, but I think that if the hub router is configured
to
broadcast ntp to the spokes and the spokes are configured to listen for
ntp
broadcasts, all will be fine. But, I think ntp will also work if the
ntp
clients are configured with the ntp server ip address and the ntp server
is
configured with ntp master regardless of which router is the hub and
which
routers are spokes in the f/r network.
When I get a chance I lab this up and see what happens.
HTH, Tim

could help. I have always configured the peering or server relationships
manually and it seems to work ok. However, in Benjamin's CCIE Security
Guide
it says that "Rx must be must be configured to send NTP traffic over the
frame relay cloud with the command ntp broadcast". Both static and
broadcast
methods seem to work ok in the lab. Does anyone have a view on this.
