[c-nsp] NTP message sent to 224.0.1.1, from interface 'NULL' (0.0.0.0).

[Victor Sudakov]

Colleagues, 

Why is a CISCO3945 router sending multicast NTP packets with ttl=31 (!) 
while I have never configured it to do so? "debug ntp packets" reveals:

NTP message sent to 224.0.1.1, from interface 'NULL' (0.0.0.0).
NTP: ntpio_send_ipv4 called with bcast address and NULL interface

In fact, it is configured to send NTP broadcast messages on some
Ethernet interfaces, but not multicast. What could be wrong?

!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0

end
