An issue we have during hardware refresh or upgrades some times is one or more appliances internal clock can be off my many seconds. I thought under 8.6.x ntpupdate was added, but can't find in release notes or a grid already at 8.6.2.
Is the option to force ntpupdate likely in future releases. Not checked 9.x.x as yet.
the "synctime" command was added in NIOS-8.6.2. You need to go into maintenance mode first by executing: "set maintenancemode"
Example using bogus IP addresses:
[...]@[...] > set maintenancemode
Maintenance Mode > synctime
Configured external NTP servers:
1.2.3.4, 2.3.4.5, 3.4.5.6
If one of the servers above is reachable and a part of the list of configured NTP servers, please use that NTP server.
Enter the NTP server's IP address [Default: 1.2.3.4]:
1127 
0
