    <para>The following settings are configured in the <literal>[Time]</literal> section:</para>

    <variablelist class='network-directives'>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>NTP=</varname></term>
        <listitem><para>A space-separated list of NTP server host
        names or IP addresses. During runtime this list is combined
        with any per-interface NTP servers acquired from
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
        systemd-timesyncd will contact all configured system or
        per-interface servers in turn until one is found that
        responds. This setting defaults to an empty
        list.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>FallbackNTP=</varname></term>
        <listitem><para>A space-separated list of NTP server host
        names or IP addresses to be used as the fallback NTP servers.
        Any per-interface NTP servers obtained from
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
        take precedence over this setting, as do any servers set via
        <varname>NTP=</varname> above. This setting is hence only used
        if no other NTP server information is known. If this option is
        not given, a compiled-in list of NTP servers is used
        instead.</para></listitem>
