Configuring the System Time

Using a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server

You can use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to synchronize the Security Management appliance
system clock with other computers on your network or the internet.

The default NTP server is

time.sco.cisco.com

If you will use an external NTP server, including the default NTP server, open the required port through
the firewall. See

Chapter C, “Firewall Information.”

Selecting a GMT Offset

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Click Edit Settings.

Step 3

Select GMT Offset from the list of regions. The Time Zone Setting page is updated to include GMT
offsets in the Time Zone field.

to or from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) — the local time at the prime meridian. Hours preceded by a
minus sign (“-”) are west of the prime meridian. A plus sign (“+”) indicates locations east of the prime
meridian.

Step 5

Submit and commit your changes.
