OPS-NTPD

What is ops-ntpd?

The ops-ntpd Python module handles the Network Time Protocol (NTP) component in OpenSwitch. This component serves the following functions:

• It is an interaction layer between the NTP Daemon and the Open vSwitch Database (OVSDB).
• It reads the configuration from the OVSDB and sends it to the NTP daemon.
• It reads the NTP daemon status and populates the OVSDB.
• If a configuration change in OVSDB, it synchronizes information to NTP daemon.

What daemon are you using for NTP?

We are using the Classic NTP repository to run the NTP daemon.
