NTP
XiVO has a NTP server, that must be synchronized to a reference server. This can be a public one or customized for specific target networking architecture. XiVO’s NTP server is used by default as NTP server for the devices time reference.
Usage
Show NTP service status:
service ntp status
Stop NTP service:
service ntp stop
Start NTP service:
service ntp start
Restart NTP service:
service ntp restart
Show NTP synchronization status:
ntpq -p
Configuring NTP service
Edit
/etc/ntpsec/ntp.conf
Give your NTP reference servers:
server 192.168.0.1 # LAN existing NTP Server server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic # default in ntp.conf server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic # default in ntp.conf
If no reference server to synchronize to, add this to synchronize locally:
server 127.127.1.0 # local clock (LCL) fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 # LCL is not very reliable
Restart NTP service
Check NTP synchronization status.
Warning
If #5 shows that NTP doesn’t use NTP configuration in /etc/ntpsec/ntp.conf
, maybe have
you done a dhclient
for one of your network interface and the dhcp server that gave the IP
address also gave a NTP server address. Thus you might check if the file /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp
exists, if yes, this is used for NTP configuration prior to /etc/ntpsec/ntp.conf
. Remove it and
restart NTP, check NTP synchronization status, then it should work.
