Core NTP Server Update

Here are the steps to manually update the NTP server in a Fusus Core:

In the Core Host OS:

  • cd /mnt/boot
  • vi config.json
  • Look for the string "deviceType":"genericx86-64-ext" and add your custom or agency-provided NTP server information after the deviceType entry.
    * Example: "ntpServers":"172.xx.xx.xx"
    * The entry should look like this: "deviceType":"genericx86-64-ext","ntpServers":"172.xx.xx.xx", | Be mindful of comma placements before and after data entry.
  • :wq or :x to save and quit
  • The Core will automatically reboot once you save your modification to the config.json.
