Hi@akhtar,

To use NTP server in your system, you have to configure it first. Use the below given steps to configure it.

• Install the chrony package by using the following command.

$ yum install chrony

• Configure chrony.

$ vim /etc/chrony.conf
server 192.0.2.1
allow 192.0.2/24

Here server keyword Identifies the NTP servers you want to use. 

• Use the systemctl command to start the chrony daemon chronyd.

$ systemctl start chronyd

Hope this will help you.
