# # File name: TCPIP$NTP.CONF # Product: HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS # Version: V5.7-13 # # © Copyright 1976, 2009 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. # # # NTP server configuration file # # # DESCRIPTION: # # This file contains configuration information for the NTP server. # Before starting the NTP server, you must edit this file and copy # it to SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$NTP]TCPIP$NTP.CONF. # # Refer to the HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management guide for # instructions on editing and using this file. # # # CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS: # # The Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides synchronized timekeeping # among a set of distributed time servers and clients. The local # OpenVMS host maintains an NTP configuration file, TCPIP$NTP.CONF, # of participating peers. The NTP configuration file is maintained # in the SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$NTP] directory. # # Determine the peer hosts with which the local hosts should negotiate # and synchronize. Include at least one (but preferably three) hosts # that you are certain have the following characteristics: # # 1. provide accurate time # 2. synchronize to Internet Time Servers # (if they are not themselves Internet Time Servers) # # The NTP configuration file is not dynamic, and therefore requires # restarting NTP after being edited to make the changes take effect. # However, you can make runtime configuration requests interactively # using the NTPDC utility. # # # CONFIGURATION: # # Your NTP configuration file should always include the following # driftfile entry. The driftfile is the name of the file that stores # the clock drift (also known as frequency error) of the system clock. driftfile SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$NTP]TCPIP$NTP.DRIFT # Samples entries follow below. Replace them with your own list of # hosts and identify the appropriate association mode. If you specify # multiple hosts, NTP can choose the best source with which to # synchronize. This also provides redundancy in case one of the hosts # becomes unavailable. # # Client/Server Mode # # Client/Server mode indicates that the local host wants to obtain # time from the remote server and is willing to supply time to the # remote server. Indicate Client/Server mode with a peer statement. # Identify each peer with a fully-qualified DNS host name or with an # IP address in dotted-decimal notation. peer 10.1.2.3 peer ntp0.myorg.mycorp.com peer ntp1.myorg.mycorp.com # Client Mode # # Client mode indicates that the local host wants to obtain time from # the remote server but it is not willing to provide time to the # remote server. Indicate client mode with the server statement. # Identify each server with a fully-qualified DNS host name or with an # IP address in dotted-decimal notation. server 10.2.3.4 server 10.3.4.5 server ntp3.myorg.mycorp.com # The following commands allow interoperation of NTP with another time # service such as DTSS. If enabled (by removing #), NTP will not set # the system clock. # server 127.127.1.0 prefer # fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 0 # The following commands allow this node to act as a backup NTP server # (or as the sole NTP server on an isolated network), using its own # system clock as the reference source. If enabled (by removing #), # this NTP server will become active only when all other normal # synchronization sources are unavailable. # server 127.127.1.0 # fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 8
