37.4.1 Pre-defined NTP Time Servers List

When you turn on the ZyWALL for the first time, the date and time start at 2003-01-01 00:00:00.
The ZyWALL then attempts to synchronize with one of the following pre-defined list of Network
Time Protocol (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.
Table 177 Default Time Servers
0.pool.ntp.org
1.pool.ntp.org
2.pool.ntp.org
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.

37.4.2 Time Server Synchronization

Click the Synchronize Now button to get the time and date from the time server you specified in
the Time Server Address field.
