9.3 Time Sync

Time synchronization is an essential element for any business that relies on an IT system. The reason for this is that these systems all have clocks that are the source of time for files or operations they handle. Without time synchronization, time on these systems can vary and cause firewall packet filtering schedule processes to fail, security to be compromised, and virtual servers to work in wrong schedule.

There are two synchronization modes: Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) and synchronization with PC. For synchronization with PC, select Sync with PC. The gateway will synchronize the time with the connecting PC.

SNTP is the acronym for Simple Network Time Protocol, which is an adaptation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) used to synchronize computer clocks in the Internet. SNTP can be used to ensure the ultimate performance of full NTP implementation.
