I have not spotted it in the software list so I assume it could be added to the base server but can the Nethserver act as a SNTP point for my internal network across all Orange, Blue and Green networks getting its time from an reliable SNTP external source ?
Who has done this and is there a de-facto standard way to do this
Hi Paul,
The NS can be synchronised with an external NTP server from Configuration -> Date and Time.
For local network, you can configure NTP from Configuration -> DHCP -> DHCP Server -> Advanced options. If left blank, the server itself will be the NTP server for all clients. - Click on the Help button.
DHCP works only for Green and Blue.
OK thanks for that, if however I have devices that are not using DHCP addresses from the NS do I just point SNTP requests to the IP address for the NS ? as it will be acting as the Default Gateway for that VLan
Yes, NS will be acting as the Default Gateway for that VLan and will give NTP.
