I'm running OLSR v0.6.1 packaged with OpenWRT 10.03.1 on a collection of Ubiquiti M5 access points (Rocket, Bullet, Nanostation, Nano Loco).<div><br></div><div>All radios have /etc/init.d/ntpdate service enabled on boot to sync local time to a remote NTP server, although this only succeeds on non-gateway nodes if OLSRd (also enabled on boot) finds and sets a default route before ntpdate times out.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In the case where ntpdate does time out before setting a node's local time, I've noticed letting that node operate as-is in the mesh can cause other nodes to lose their default route. Presumably from the non-sync'ed node sending out HNA's with bad timestamps? Is this expected OLSR behavior?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Besides simply letting ntpdate run on all nodes as an hourly or daily cron job, would anyone have other recommendations on keeping all nodes' local time synced?<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br>
