where:

password is the new password for the fgn account.

For more details about using the CLI and the Management Console, refer to the Cisco Application Velocity System User Guide.

Setting the Time

Many features of AVS depend on having the clocks synchronized among all of the deployed AVS devices and the origin servers. It is important to synchronize all clocks whenever a new device is deployed.

Here is a summary of the ways to set the clock on an AVS device:

•Use the set date command to set the date, time, and local time zone.

•Use the set ntp command to configure the AVS device to get its time from an NTP time synchronization source. The NTP source should be the same for all deployed AVS devices and origin servers.

Note We recommend that you use an NTP time synchronization source.

For information on using the CLI to configure the AVS 3120, refer to the Cisco Application Velocity System User Guide. For an example of using the set ntp and set date commands, refer to the previous section, Configuring Network Settings.
