System; Date And Time - Secure Computing SG300 User Manual

Date and Time

We recommend setting the SG unit's clock to the correct date and time, otherwise system
log message time stamps do not match the time of the event. If you are using certificates
for SSL or IPSec, it is especially important that you set the date and time correctly, as all
certificates include an expiry date after which they do not function.
Set date and time
If you have a Javascript enabled web browser, click the top Set Date and Time button to
synchronize the time on the SG unit with that of your PC.
You may also set the date and time manually by selecting the Year, Month, Date, Hour
and Minute and clicking the bottom Set Date and Time button.
NTP time server
The SG unit can synchronize its system time with a remote time server using the Network
Time Protocol (NTP). Configuring the NTP time server ensures that the SG unit's clock is
accurate soon after the Internet connection is established.
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.
Note
When synchronizing with an NTP server, the date and time is displayed in UTC. To
display local time, you must set the Locality appropriately.
