How to Speed up NTP initial synchronization

How to Speed up NTP initial synchronization

Open the NT P configuration file /etc/ntp.conf in a text editor such as vi or nano, or create a new one if it does not already exist:

# nano /etc/ntp.conf

To speed the initial synchronization up, add the iburst directive at the end of each server line:

server 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst
