NTP time synchronisation, ctrlX CORE as a NTP server ?

NTP time synchronisation, ctrlX CORE as a NTP server ?

Hello,

I got following question about the NTP time sync on the ctrlX CORE: can the controller synchronize itself as an NTP client and then be available to others as an NTP server?

The system time of the ctrlX can be synchronized with a server via NTP. Can the participants in the private network then use the controller for their time synchronization?

Example:

company NTP server has IP 1.1.1.1 ;    ctrlX CORE to outside: IP 1.1.1.2 ;  to inside: 192.168.0.100

ctrlX synchronizes with 1.1.1.1 ;      participant 192.168.0.1 (private network) synchronizes with 192.168.0.100.

Regards, Stefan

Hi st_ctrlX_user,

the ctlX CORE cannot be a NTP server.

But it could act as an router and forward the ntp requests to the outside.

To secure it a bit more you could use firewall rules to block all other traffic.
