Configuring NTP Servers

By default, iNode’s clock is synchronized to the default NTP pool servers.

This article shows how to configure custom NTP time server(s) that the iNode will use to sync it’s clock, using either the iNode CLI or the web UI.

Configure an NTP Server with the CLI

To configure an NTP server, use the set time-server command with the following steps:

1. Use SSH to connect to the iNode. (Learn how in Accessing an Edge iNode Console Using the Command-Line Interface.)
2. Use the set time-server command to enter the time-server command prompt:
   ShellShell

   > set time-server
   (set time-server) >

3. Use the server command with the following arguments to configure the NTP server:
   ShellShell

   server --addr <addr>

   For example:
   ShellShell

   (set time-server) > server --addr 192.170.0.15

   To configure more than one NTP server:
   ShellShell

   (set time-server) > server --addr 192.170.0.15 --addr 192.170.0.152 --addr 192.170.0.16

   To configure an NTP server using its fully qualified domain name:
   ShellShell

   (set time-server) > server --addr time2.google.com

4. Use the save command to save the configuration:
   ShellShell

   (set time-server) > save

5. To see the configured NTP servers, use the showcommand:
   ShellShell

   (set time-server) > show

   For example:
   
   
   
6. Use the exit command to exit the set time-server command:
   ShellShell

   (set time-server) > exit
   >

   
   

Configure an NTP Server with the Web UI

Use the following steps to configure the time servers for the iNode uplink interface using the web UI.

1. Expand the Configuring For Static IP section.
   
2. Under NTP Settings, enter the desired NTP Server IP addresses or FQDNs.
3. You can configure up to four time servers.
4. Select Submit.
