  • Page 8: Network Timeserver With Tcr Synchronized Time Base

    Network Timeserver with TCR synchronized time base LANTIME (Local Area Network Timeserver) provides a high precision time base to a TCP/IP network (Stratum-1-Server). The NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize all NTP clients with the reference. The several LANTIME variants differ from each other by the time reference.

  • Page 9: The Modular System Lantime

    The Modular System LANTIME LANTIME M300 is a set of equipment composed of a reference clock (e.g.: satellite controlled clock GPS167or Time Code Receiver TCR5xx), a single-board computer SBC LX800 500 MHz with integrated network card, and a power supply unit NLP65, all installed in a metal desktop case and ready to operate.
  • Page 10 The implemented NTPD distributes the reference time from the GPS receiver cyclic in the network. Information on the NTPD is monitored on the LC display or can be inquired via the network. The installation of LANTIME is very easy for the system/network administrator. The network address, the netmask and the default gateway have to be configured from the front panel of LANTIME.

  • Page 30: The Lantime Configuration Interfaces

    The LANTIME configuration interfaces The LANTIME offers three different options for configuration and status management: Web interface, Command Line Interface Setup and SNMP. In order to use the SNMP features of your LANTIME, you need special software like management systems or SNMP clients. In order to use the web interface, all you need is a web browser (LANTIME supports a broad range of browsers).

  • Page 31: The Web Interface

    The web interface Connect to the web interface by entering the following address into the address field of your web browser: http://198.168.10.10 (You need to replace 198.168.10.10 with the IP address of your LANTIME). If you want to use an encrypted connection, replace the http:// with https://...

  • Page 32: Configuration:main Menu

    Configuration:Main Menu After entering the right password, the main menu page shows up. This page contains an overview of the most important configuration and status parameters for the system. The start page gives a short overview of the most important configuration parameters and the runtime statistics of the unit.

  • Page 34 In the network configuration all parameters related to the network interfaces can be changed. In the first section you can change the hostname and domain name. You can also specify two nameserver and two SYSLOG server. In the nameserver and syslog server fields you may enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address (the syslog servers can be specified as a hostname, too).

  • Page 35: Network Interface Specific Configuration

    Network interface specific configuration The interface specific parameters can be found in the Interface section. If your LANTIME is equipped with only one network interface, you will find only one sub section (Interface 0). Otherwise you see a sub section for each installed Ethernet port. Here, the parameters for the network port can be changed.

    Configuration: Notification...

  • Page 39: Alarm Events

    Alarm events On this page you can set up different notification types for a number of events. This is an important feature because of the nature of a timeserver: running unobserved in the background. If an error or problem occurs, the timeserver is able to notify an administrator by using a number of different notification types.

  • Page 40: Windows Popup Messages

    Windows Popup Messages Most Microsoft Windows operating systems provide you with a local notification tool. You can send messages via the special Windows protocol in your local network. It is not necessary to enable the NETBIOS protocol of the LANTIME in order to use this notification.

  • Page 41: User Defined Alarm Scripts

    User defined Alarm scripts You can define your own alarm script for every event by using the “Edit user defined notification script”. This script will be called automatically if one of the selected events occurs. This user alarm script will be stored on the Flash-Disk at “/mnt/flash/user_defined_notification”.

  • Page 43: Password

    Password On the ““Security““ page you can manage all security relevant parameters for your timeserver. In the first section “Login” the administration password can be changed, which is used for SSH, TELNET, FTP, HTTP and HTTPS access. The password is stored encrypted on the internal flash disk and can only be reset to the default value “timeserver”...

  • Page 44: Ssh Secure Shell Login

    SSH Secure Shell Login The SSH provides you with a secure shell access to your timeserver. The connection is encrypted, so no readable passwords are transmitted over your network. The actual LANTIME version supports SSH1 and SSH2 over IPv4 and IPv6. In order to use this feature, you have to enable the SSHD subsystem and a security key has to be generated on the timeserver by using the “Generate SSH key”...

  • Page 45: Generate Ssl Certificate For Https

    Generate SSL Certificate for HTTPS HTTPS is the standard for encrypted transmission of data between web browser and web server. It relies on X.509 certificates and asymmetric crypto procedures. The timeserver uses these certificates to authenticate itself to the client (web browser). The first time a web browser connects to the HTTPS web server of your LANTIME, you are asked to accept the certificate of the web server.

  • Page 46: Ntp Keys And Certificates

    NTP keys and certificates The fourth and fifth section of the “Security“ page allow you to create the needed crypto keys and certificates for secure NTP operation (please see NTP authentication below). The function “Generate new NTP public key“ is creating a new self-signed certificate for the timeserver, which is automatically marked as “trusted“.

  • Page 47: Configuration: Ntp

    Configuration: NTP The NTP configuration page is used to set up the additional NTP parameters needed for a more specific configuration of the NTP subsystem. The default configuration of the timeserver consists of a local clock, which represents the hardware clock of your LANTIME system and the GPS reference clock. The local clock is only chosen as the NTP time reference after the GPS clock lost its synchronisation.
  • Page 48 interpreting the PPS (pulse per second) of the GPS reference clock. The default configuration looks like this: lantime # NTP.CONF for GPS167 with UNI ERLANGEN server 127.127.1.0 # local clock fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 12 # local stratum server 127.127.8.0 mode 135 prefer # GPS167 UNI Erlangen PPS fudge 127.127.8.0 time1 0.0042...
  • Page 49 The NTP Trusttime will specify the time how long the NTP will trust the reference time if this is not synchronized (free running). This time will be set in seconds or minutes or hours. The value 0 will be select the default value for the specific reference clock.

  • Page 50: Ntp Authentication

    NTP Authentication NTP version 2 and version 3 support an authentication method using symmetric keys. If a packet is sent by the NTPD while using this authentication mode, every packet is provided with a 32 bit key ID and a cryptographic 64/128 bit checksum of the packet.
  • Page 51 The ntp.keys file mentioned above holds a list of all keys and their respective ID known by the server. This file should not be world-readable (only root should be able to look into this) and it may look like this: # ntp keys file (ntp.keys) 29233E0461ECD6AE # des key in NTP format...

  • Page 52: Ntp Autokey

    NTP AUTOKEY NTP Version 4 supports symmetric keys and additionally provides the so-called AUTOKEY feature. The authentic of received time at the NTP clients is sufficiently ensured by the symmetric key technique. In order to achieve a higher security, e.g. against so-called replay attacks, it is important to change the used crypto keys from time to time.
  • Page 53 4 server time2.meinberg.de You find the server time.meinberg.de which is using the AUTOKEY feature, while time2.meinberg.de is used without any authentic checks. If you want to setup the LANTIME server as a trusted host, but need to use a different trusted authority, please create your own group key with this TA and include it with the web interface of your LANTIME (on page “Security Management”...
  • Page 54 Example: This autokey group is formed by one Stratum-1-server (B), two Stratum-2-servers (D and E) and a number of clients (in the diagram there are 4 clients shown, c1 – c4). B is the trusted host, he holds the group key and a self-signed certificate marked as “trusted”.

  • Page 56: Administrative Functions

    You should use this function only, if the NTPD has been synchronized to the internal reference clock for more than one day. This is done here at Meinberg directly before shipping the LANTIME unit to our customers, so you do not need to use this function during normal operation.

  • Page 57: User Management

    The first usage of “Save settings” will load the configuration from flash into memory and activate it. The point “Download SNMP MIB files“ can be used to download all Meinberg specific SNMP MIB files to your workstation. They can be distributed to all SNMP management clients afterwards.

  • Page 58: Administrative Information

    Administrative Information The button “List all messages“ displays the SYSLOG of the LANTIME completely. In this log all subsystems create their entries, even the OS (upper case) kernel. The SYSLOG file /var/log/messages is only stored in the system’s ram disk, therefore it is lost after a power off or restart.

  • Page 59: Software Update

    If you need to update the software of your LANTIME, you need a special file from Meinberg, which can be uploaded to the LANTIME by first choosing the file on your local computer with the “Browse” button and then press “Start firmware update”.

  • Page 60: Automatic Configuration Check

    Automatic configuration check All parameters of the LANTIME can be checked for plausibility and all configured servers (e.g. SYSLOG servers, nameservers) are tested for reachability. All red coloured values should be reviewed by the administrator. Because all configured hostnames / IP addresses of the servers are processed during the reachabilitytests, the whole check process may take a while.

  • Page 61: Get Diagnostics Information

    With the help of these informations the technical support from Meinberg can reproduce the current state of your Lantime. It takes some time to collect all information from the Lantime. Do not press the button again while this process is running - some web browsers will cancel the job if you press the button twice.

  • Page 63: Statistical Information

    Statistical Information In the first section a graphical diagram shows the running synchronisation process. NTP is storing this statistical information in so-called “loopstats” files, which are used here to draw the curves. The red line is describing the offset between the internal reference clock (GPS) and the system clock.

  • Page 64: Configuration: Manual

    Configuration: Manual This page gives you access to the documents stored on your LANTIME, especially the manuals and your own notes. The two lists include filename, language, file type, date and size of the documents/notes. The LANTIME documents can be downloaded from here in order to read / print them on your workstation.
  • Page 65 If you want to add a note (you can maintain more than one note on your LANTIME), after choosing the button “add note” you have to enter a filename (without a directory path, all notes are stored in a fixed directory on the flash disk of your LANTIME) and the language of your note first.

  • Page 66: The Command Line Interface

    The Command Line Interface The command line interface (CLI) can be used within a TELNET or SSH session. After login, just enter “setup” to start the CLI setup tool. The start page gives a short overview of the most important configuration parameters and the runtime statistics of the unit.

  • Page 67: Cli Ethernet

    CLI Ethernet In the network configuration all parameters related to the network interfaces can be changed. In the first section you can change the hostname and domain name. You can also specify two nameservers and two SYSLOG servers. In the nameserver and SYSLOG server fields you may enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address (the SYSLOG servers can be specified as a hostname, too).
  • Page 68 NETBIOS cannot be used over IPv6 in this version. IPv4 and IPv6 can be used together on one LANTIME. To manage the interface specific parameters, you can enter the Ethernet Configuration Line page by using one of the ETHERNET buttons. If your LANTIME is equipped with only one network interface, you will find only one button (ETHERNET 0).
  • Page 69 If the DHCP client has been activated, the automatically obtained parameters are shown in the appropriate fields (IPv4 address, netmask, gateway). You can specify up to three IPv6 addresses for your LANTIME timeserver. Additionally you can switch off the IPv6 AUTOCONF feature. IPv6 addresses are 128 bits in length and written as a chain of 16 bit numbers in hexadecimal notation, separated with colons.

  • Page 80: Snmp Support

    MD5 SHA1 Encryption support: By using the special Meinberg SNMP-agent all important status variables can be read with SNMP conformant client software. Where applicable, a variable is implemented as string and numeric value, for example allowing SNMP client software to use the information for drawing diagrams or monitor threshold levels.
  • Page 81 By using the standard MIB, no NTP get requests are allowed. Only the standard system and network parameters can be accessed (e.g. using the NET-SNMP command “snmpget”). Only by using the Meinberg MIB the change of configuration parameters is possible (the command “snmpset“ is used to alter a variable, for example).

  • Page 82: Configuration Over Snmp

    Configuration over SNMP The LANTIME timeserver can be configured via several user interfaces. Besides the possibility to setup its parameters with the web interface (HTTP and/or HTTPS) and the direct shell access via Telnet or SSH, a SNMP based configuration interface is available.

  • Page 84: Further Configuration Possibilities

    Further configuration possibilities Because the timeserver uses a standard version of the net-snmp SNMP daemon (with extended features covering the timeserver-specific functions), all configuration parameters of the SNMPD can be used. The configuration file of the SNMP daemon is located at /usr/local/share/snmp after boot time, the filename is snmpd.conf. During the boot sequence, this file is created dynamically by using a template file and appending the SNMP parameters stored in the timeserver setup.
  • Page 85 (e.g. mail, winpopup, SYSLOG etc.). A few examples: (we are again using the snmpset command which comes with the net-snmp tools). root@testhost:/# snmpset -v2c -r 0 -t 10 -c rwsecret timeserver.meinberg.de mbgLtCmdExecute.0 int 1 MBG-SNMP-LANTIME-CMD-MIB::mbgLtCmdExecute.0 = INTEGER: Reboot(1) root@testhost:/# The command shown above is forcing the timeserver to reboot.
