Hi Team:

I have a question regarding NTP broadcast and NTP
broadcast client. I dont know what are the advantages
and disadvantages of using these two commands. I am
particularly interested in the disadvantage portion,
as I read that ntp broadcast client command is not
recommended but I did not find any reason why. This
is what I found on the cisco website

ntp broadcast

To configure the system to send Network Time Protocol
(NTP) broadcast packets on a specified interface, use
the ntp broadcast command in interface configuration
mode. To disable this capability, use the no form of
this command.

ntp broadcast client

To configure the system to receive Network Time
Protocol (NTP) broadcast packets on a specified
interface, use the ntp broadcast client command in
interface configuration mode. To disable this
capability, use the no form of this command.

Your feedback/suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Azhar
