NTP service between RevPi Cores

[hikaru2001]

Hello friends,

I use RevPi Core A as NTP client to get the standard time from Internet while RevPi Core A s also set as NTP server to provide the time for my factory. (This is step is successful)
In my workshop 1 I want to use RevPi Core B as local time server and it synchronizes time with RevPi Core A. Is this practical? I can't succeed it.
Do you have some suggestion? Tks!

Yes, this should work.

As I don't know what you have already tried (which not worked), please elaborate on what you already did on the RevPi in order to provide server functionaliy.

Hi Nicolai,

In RevPi B I install ntpdate and ntp.
In the startup program I make the following code:
“
#! /bin/sh
Sleep 40s
Killall ntpd
ntpdate -u 202.199.131.1
ntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf
“
202.199.131.1 is my time server of factory(RevPi A). RevPi B can get time from it however it can’t provide time to others.
After ntpq -p in RevPi B, only display
0.debian.pool.n
1.debian.pool.n
2.debian.pool.n
3.debian.pool.n
////////////////////
It looks like something wrong.

I can't see where you configured the ntp server on your client? (usually /etc/ntp.conf)?

Hi Nicolai,

Below is the code of ntp.conf in my RevPi A (NTP server)

When I enter "nptdate RevPi A address", the window of "no server suitable for synchronization found" come up.
Pls give me some suggestion. Tks tons!
