Did someone resolve this issue?

Hello,

I have resolved this issue. You need to update the time stamp of both DHCP Servers. Just use below command.

ntpdate pool.ntp.org

Also, make an entry in /etc/ntp.conf file such as "server pool.ntp.org". Then, save the ntp.conf file, restart ntpd service or reboot the linux to take NTP in effect.

That's it.
