Ntp Settings - SonicWALL SonicOS Enhanced 2.2 Administrator's Manual

NTP Settings

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol used to synchronize computer clock times in a network of
computers. NTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to synchronize computer clock times to a
millisecond, and sometimes, to a fraction of a millisecond. The SonicWALL use an internal list of NTP
servers so manually entering a NTP server is optional.
Select Use NTP to set time automatically if you want to use your local server to set the SonicWALL
clock. You can also configure Update Interval (minutes) for the NTP server to update the SonicWALL.
The default value is 60 minutes.
To add an NTP server to the SonicWALL configuration, click Add. The Add NTP Server window is
displayed. Type the IP address of an NTP server in the NTP Server field. Click Ok. Then click Apply on
the System>Time page to update the SonicWALL. To delete an NTP server, highlight the IP address and
click Delete. Or, click Delete All to delete all servers.
System>Settings
The System>Settings page allows you to manage your SonicWALL SonicOS versions and preferences.
