31.5 Pre-defined NTP Time Servers List

When you turn on the ZyWALL for the first time, the date and time start at 2000-01-01
00:00:00. The ZyWALL then attempts to synchronize with one of the following pre-defined
list of NTP time servers.
The ZyWALL continues to use the following pre-defined list of NTP time servers if you do
not specify a time server or it cannot synchronize with the time server you specified.
Note: The ZyWALL can use this pre-defined list of time servers regardless of the
Time Protocol you select.

When the ZyWALL uses the pre-defined list of NTP time servers, it randomly selects one
server and tries to synchronize with it. If the synchronization fails, then the ZyWALL goes
through the rest of the list in order from the first one tried until either it is successful or all the
pre-defined NTP time servers have been tried.
