Before you create a new NTP (Network Time Protocol) service, see *[About the NTP Service](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/270599242)* for information about NTP.

To create an NTP service instance, do the following:

1. Log in to the Infoblox Portal.
2. Go to **Network > NTP**.
3. In the **Create NTP** wizard, follow the steps in the wizard to create the service, as follows:
  - *[Configuring General NTP Information](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/149456629)*
  - *[Configuring External NTP Servers](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/117670550)*
  - *[Binding NTP Service to Network Interfaces](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/149913962)*
  - *[Viewing NTP Service Configuration](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/149979563)*

You can also configure global NTP settings for all NIOS-X servers or override the global NTP setting for individual NIOS-X servers. For more information, see the following:

- *[Configuring Global NTP Settings](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/270664516)*
- *[Overriding Global NTP Settings](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/270631818)*
