Network Time Protocol (NTP) configuration

Contributors netapp-bingen

Sometimes, security issues can occur due to discrepancies in network time configurations. It is important to ensure that all devices within a network have accurate time settings to prevent such issues.

Virtual appliance

You can configure the NTP server(s) from the maintenance console in the virtual appliance. Users can add the NTP server details under System ConfigurationAdd new NTP Server option

By default, the service for NTP is ntpd. This is a legacy service and does not work well for virtual machines in certain cases.

Debian

On Debian, the user can access the /etc/ntp.conf file for ntp server details.
