Configuration of NTP in rhel7:

 Requirements:

1) you need a active NTP sever for client configuration.
2) conform that you you have prepared your YUM for installation.
3) Ping server to check the server is active or not.( For example your server is :  station.rhel7.lab.com)

1) Install NTP : yum install ntp
2) Configure NTP : Open ntp file - vim /etc/ntp.conf
Now edit this file. Comment all four severs lines and write your server line like this- 
   #server 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst
   #server 1.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst
   #server 2.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst
   #server 3.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst
   server       station.rhel7.lab.com 
3) Stop ntpd service and match your time from server - 
   systemctl stop ntpd
   ntpdate -b  station.rhel7.lab.com
   systemctl restart ntpd
   systemctl enable ntpd
4)Write this restart command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local 
   vim /etc/rc.d/rc.local

5) Make this file executable and restart rc-local  service
   chmod /etc/rc.d/rc.local 
   systemctl restart rc-local
