Setting system date and time
For effective scheduling and logging, the FortiGate system time must be accurate.
You can either manually set the FortiGate system time or you can configure the
FortiGate unit to automatically keep its system time correct by synchronizing with a
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
To set the date and time
1Go to System > Config > Time.
2Select Refresh to display the current FortiGate system date and time.
3Select your Time Zone from the list.
4Select the Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes check box if you want the FortiGate system clock to be adjusted automatically when your time zone changes to daylight saving time.
5Select Set Time and set the FortiGate system date and time to the correct date and time, if required.
6Select Synchronize with NTP Server to configure the FortiGate unit to use NTP to automatically set the system time and date.
For more information about NTP and to find the IP address of an NTP server that you can use, see http://www.ntp.org.
7Enter the IP address or domain name of the NTP server that the FortiGate unit can use to set its time and date.
8Specify how often the FortiGate unit should synchronize its time with the NTP server. A typical Syn Interval would be 1440 minutes for the FortiGate unit to synchronize its time once a day.
