You can synchronize system time settings on your Smoothwall Filter and Firewall with your internal domain servers.
Procedure
Setting time on a Smoothwall should be done in three steps:
- Set the hardware clock in the BIOS to GMT time.
- Set the Smoothwall Filter and Firewall time zone to the local time zone, see our help topic, Setting the system's time and providing a time service
- For Network time servers choose the option that fits your network.
In general, if you want the Smoothwall to stay synchronized with your internal network, use an internal time server, like an Active Directory server, in the User defined single public or local server field. - Set the Time to your local time.
- Click Save. Remember to check the set option before saving the time.
Note: Do not enable any of the Network time service interfaces if you want the Smoothwall to synchronize with an internal server. Enabling these changes the Smoothwall to be a time server which will make the Smoothwall update time from a predefined list of external sources.
