## Default NTP servers

We recommend configuring your own preferred NTP servers. The default NTP server values on GitHub Enterprise Server are the following:

{% ifversion ghes > 3.17 %}
AWS
* Primary Server: 169.254.169.123 prefer iburst minpoll 4 maxpoll 4
* NTP Pool: time.aws.com iburst

Other (non-AWS)
{% endif %}
* Primary Server: 0.github.pool.ntp.org
* Secondary Server: 1.github.pool.ntp.org

You must ensure that the NTP servers (configured or default) are reachable on UDP port 123. For more details on the network ports that need to be open, see [AUTOTITLE](/admin/configuring-settings/configuring-network-settings/network-ports#administrative-ports).
