13.9 Checking time server information
The system clock on the U-router NGW is synchronized by a process called:
systemd-timesyncd
.
This time synchronization takes place with remote servers AND with the local time server that is
synchronized with the mobile network time. To see the status of the time synchronization you can
use the following command:
systemctl status systemd-timesyncd
For example:
root@VZ1-034748:/home/rfi# systemctl status systemd-timesyncd

(127.0.0.1).
In the example above, there are three time servers configured:
•
127.0.0.1, the internal time server, synced to the mobile network
•
213.251.52.43, external time server on the Internet
•
91.236.251.11, external time server on the Internet
From the output of the command we can see that the system clock on the U-router NGW is
synchronized with the mobile network time. Furthermore, the two remaining external time servers
are not reachable.
