How to configure IP address of local NTP Server in /etc/ntp.conf

Technical Support

and is there something else to remark? Local NTP server in same network segment as RS should be the first choice. Found a lot of information but I am not quite shure how to proceed correctly. Many thanks in advance.

I use a local GPS based NTP server here.

I edited/etc/ntp.conf in this section:


# pool.ntp.org maps to about 1000 low-stratum NTP servers.  Your server will
# pick a different set every time it starts up.  Please consider joining the
# pool: <http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html>
server 192.168.1.92 
server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst

The address ending in 92 is my local server.

This is what I see on NTPQ

ntpq> peers
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

The “chronos.fios-ro .PPS” entry is the name of my local server and it is tagged with an asterisk indicating that Linux is using it (as it has the best statistics).
