Enabling The D-Link Ntp Server - D-Link NetDefend DFL-210 User Manual

3.8.2. Time Servers
3.8.2.4. Synchronization Intervals
The interval between each synchronization attempt can be adjusted if needed. By default, this value
is 86,400 seconds (1 day), meaning that the time synchronization process is executed once in a 24
hour period.
3.8.2.5. D-Link Time Servers
Using D-Link's own Time Servers is an option in NetDefendOS and this is the recommended way of
synchronizing the firewall clock. These servers communicate with NetDefendOS using the SNTP
protocol.
When the D-Link Server option is chosen, a pre-defined set of recommended default values for the
synchronization are used.
Example 3.26. Enabling the D-Link NTP Server
To enable the use of the D-Link NTP server:
CLI
gw-world:/> set DateTime TimeSynchronization=D-Link
Web Interface
1. Go to System > Date and Time
2. Select the D-Link TimeSync Server radio button
3. Click OK.
As mentioned above, it is important to have an external DNS server configured so that the D-Link
Time Server URLs can be resolved during the access process.
