Re: REMINDER: LEAP SECOND

I had problems with Leap Second with mikrotik in versions 6.29.1, 6.28, 6.5 and other versions.

Configured NTP Client in all of them.

Anyone else had this problem?

Bad idea.

When restarting ntpd your clocks will likely be off by a second, which
will cause a backward step, which will force the problem you claim to be
avoiding.


If you are afraid that your routers will crash due to the leapsecond, then
it would help to disable the thing that you think will crash them. Even if
the router crashes when you enable it later on. Because then you can have
one router crash at a time and have it happen in a service window where you
are ready for it. Instead of having all routers in your whole network crash
at exactly the same time.
