Time Server configuration
 |
In R28612 and R28613 busybox-rdate has been replaced with busybox-ntpd by default.Since then the file /etc/config/timeserver has become obsolete The remote time is now being configured in /etc/config/system |
The timeserver config holds individual time servers and pools 1) that support the older Time_Protocol for the rdate hotplug script.
config 'timeserver'
option 'hostname' 'ac-ntp0.net.cmu.edu'
#option 'interface' 'wan'
[..] |
There are two valid options defined for the timeserver sections:
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
hostname |
option |
yes | n/a | Host name of the time server |
interface |
option |
no | empty | Interface that time server is valid for. An empty value means valid for all devices. Additional restrictions can be applied in the system rdate section |
1)
The selected pools have a lot of servers supporting the time protocol, but not all servers of a pool must support it. With the selected list complete sync failures are extremely rare.
