Editing Configurations

NOTE

The SNTP client must be disabled on an appliance in order to change its date or time manually. If SNTP is enabled, the date and time change operation will fail.

To change the date and time:

1Make sure that the SNTP client is disabled on the target appliances. There are two ways to disable the SNTP client setting: from the Appliance editor’s Advanced tab, or from the Edit menu, Multiple Configurations > SNTP Client.

2In the Appliance Manager, select the target appliances in the Appliances view.

3On the Edit menu, click Date.

4In the New Date window, enter the new date and time,.

5Click Apply to immediately apply the new date and time to the target appliances. The result is displayed for each appliance. If ETEMS is unable to update the appliance’s clock, it displays the reason for the failure.

Changing Settings on a Single Appliance

When editing the configuration of a single appliance, use the appliance editor to make changes to all settings other than management IP address, password, and date and time.

To edit the configuration of a single appliance:

1In the Appliance Manager, select an appliance in the Appliances view.

2On the Edit menu, click Configuration.

3In the appliance editor, modify the configuration settings. To change all of the values to their defaults, click Use Defaults.

4When you are done, do one of the following:

Click OK to save your changes and close the appliance editor.
