Apr 26, 2015It seems the Windows server, which is configured as an NTP server on F5 is the culprit. After updating the timeout threshold to 16 (i.e. tos maxdist 16) it has improved the Offset. Now it seems as following.
[root@CompanyF5-3900U2:Standby:Changes Pending] config ntpq -pn
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
*10.13.1.12 10.13.1.11 2 u 4 64 1 0.925 -30.579 0.342
+10.13.1.11 .LOCL. 1 u 3 64 1 0.795 -31.123 0.077
[root@CompanyF5-3900U2:Standby:Changes Pending] config
However because I have restarted the NTP service, the offset is considerably low. I will keep it under observation for 2-3 days and update the thread again with latest observation.
Thanks a ton Nitass for your extensive help mity! Much much appreciated!!
