NTP client set time [solved]

Hi folks,

How do I set the time using the NTP client?

I have the NTP client installed and running, but I can’t seem to find the command to set the time. After a reboot, the NTP client doesn’t automatically reset the system clock.

Sincerely,

Don James

Check here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:System/Time

Which command you use depends on whether you installed the optional NTP package or not.

I installed the optional package.

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:System/Time DOES NOT tell how to set the clock using the NTP client.

If you configure and enable the ntp client it will set the time on the device:

/system ntp client set enabled=yes mode=unicast primary-ntp=216.66.0.142 secondary-ntp=69.36.227.90

Hi,

I changed the ip addresses of the time servers:

enabled: yes
mode: unicast
primary-ntp: 205.196.146.72
secondary-ntp: 108.61.73.243
dynamic-servers:
status: synchronized

Now it sets the time automatically.

Thanks for the help,

Don James
