How to set time?

mperdue · Tue Dec 06, 2005 10:29 pm

In the winbox you go to system -> clock. You can set the time and reboot and the time does not stay.

So I went to ntp client and setup the ip address to my ntp server (which I set all my machines too). And while the npt says active it does not set the correct date and time on the logs?

The ntp server is a win3k domain controller and I pull ntp from it from several differnt items like cisco routers, linksys routers, log server.

I'm using the latest version of routerboard o.s. on the older router board units. 232 (i think)

Ideas how to resolve?

Thanks
Michael

Hi, check the timezone on routeros. The rb 500, does not store clock after reboot or shutdown, you must set in NTP client a server to connect and set the time.

I do use ntp server, I set the ntp server, and the rb does not syinc the time with it.

hey ps i think i have gotten it to work but i wanna be sure i did the right thing. i enabled ntp server n client. i got too ips from the net that are ntp servers. i set my ntp server and client to unnicast. then i inserted the 2 ips into the client and applied. if this is right whats the use of the ntp server on the mikrotik

NTP still does not work in any of our RB 500 series machines. :-(

Can you be more specific? It is very hard to solve problems decribed by words "it does not work". I use several RB500 and have no problem with NTP. Can you please post status information of your NTP client? (system ntp client print)?

it works fine with me what did u do wrong. post more detailed info

Both ntp server and rb500 are on routable IP address on the same class-c network.

我有一个win3k服务器与国家结核控制规划服务器运行I set my servers to sync too. I also sync several other third party items such as linksys GT routers that are across my town wireless system. They sync up just fine. but the rb500 does not.

The ntp client screen shows the the ip address of the npt server, it even says "reached" in the menu. I am running 2.9.8 o.s.

Can you try another public NTP server? (List of NTP servers you can find for example here:http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome).

I have one MT get the time from a free government time server. then all the other MTs and other devices needing time get it from my MT time server.
