Configure NTP

M1 Chassis

If your CE1 is hosted on the M1 server, NTP is configured on the CE1 by editing the /etc/chrony.conf configuration file.

Add a line to point to the appropriate time server(s).

server 192.168.7.2 iburst

Check that the timeserver(s) can be reached with:

tracepath 192.168.7.2

Restart chronyd and sync quickly:

sudo systemctl restart chronyd 
sudo chronyc makestep

Check the status. Note that it may take a few minutes for the synchronization with the NTP server.

sudo chronyc ntpdata 
timedatectl

Additional debug:

sudo chronyc sources -v

If your CE1 is hosted on the M2 server, NTP is configured from the CE1 front panel or using the “frontPanel” command line tool.
