Set date and time
If you have a Javascript enabled web browser, you will be able to click the top Set Date
and Time button to synchronize the time on the CyberGuard SG appliance with that of
your PC.
Alternately, you can manually set the Year, Month, Date, Hour and Minute using the
selection boxes to set the date and time on the CyberGuard SG appliance.
NTP time server
The CyberGuard SG appliance can synchronize its system time with a remote time
server using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). Configuring the NTP time server ensures
that the CyberGuard SG appliance's clock (in UTC) will be accurate soon after the
Internet connection is established. If NTP is not used, the system clock will be set
randomly when the CyberGuard SG appliance starts up.
To set the system time using NTP, select the Set Time checkbox on the NTP Server
Configuration page and enter the IP address of the time server in the Remote NTP
Server field.
