Adding NTP servers
You add NTP servers under Administration > System Settings: Date and Time. These configuration options are available:
Add a New NTP Server
Displays the controls to add a server.
Hostname or IP Address
Specifies the hostname or IP address for the NTP server. You can connect to an NTP public server pool: for example, 0.riverbed.pool.ntp.org. When you add an NTP server pool, the server is selected from a pool of time servers. The IP address can be either IPv4 or IPv6. For IPv6 specify an IP address using this format: eight 16-bit hexadecimal strings separated by colons, 128-bits. For example: 2001:38dc:0052:0000:0000:e9a4:00c5:6282
You don’t need to include leading zeros. For example: 2001:38dc:52:0:0:e9a4:c5:6282
You can replace consecutive zero strings with double colons (::). For example: 2001:38dc:52::e9a4:c5:6282
