Just wanting to start a discussion on how everyone manages or uses NTP now days and any real world best practices they use or found to work well.
I manage a 9 campus community college with over 150+ switch stacks/routers.
Our NTP is all over the place and I'm looking to standardize it as my next work from home "covid project."
We currently have a mix of our Core device acting as a server and a linux box acting as a server. All down stream devices either use the Core, the linux box, both, a public NTP server, locally set clocking, or no change from default boot up.
High-level overview our network is hub and spoke: Core -> Campus distribution -> building/access. Nothing fancy.
This came about though because a coworker was asked to look at critical errors on a switch and his final report was "the logs show it's from 2016 so we don't have to worry about it."
