9597.0. "question for local NTP server ... " by HGOSPS::IVANCHENG () Wed Apr 23 1997 07:24

    
    
    There are five DU machines installed with NTP.  The customer wants to
    setup two local NTP servers which are provide time source (local
    Reference clock), one for the primary and one for the backup.  Is it 
    possible to do that on the Digital UNIX ?  If so, could you provide the 
    setup procedure ?
    
    Thanks.
    
    Rgds,
    Ivan Cheng

	Hi, Assuming you've already setup the servers, all you need to do it run ntpsetup on the clients and choose both machines as servers. The server setup is dependent on the type of clock you have and I believe must be done by hand. I'd recommend looking at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ which is the root of some docs, or http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/database/html_xntp3.5f/notes.html which has a "Clock Support Overview" section with a pointer to what address you need for what clocks. For example, a Spectracom reference clock might have a "server 127.127.4.1' entry in /etc/ntp.conf (along with other options). The DU Network Administration manual also has a section on NTP, as do some of the ntp man pages (man -k ntp). A search of this conference with NTP helps too :-) -Brian [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
