D-Link Time Servers

Using D-Link's own Time Servers is an option in NetDefendOS and this is the recommended way of
synchronizing the firewall clock. These servers communicate with NetDefendOS using the SNTP
protocol.

When the D-Link Server option is chosen, a pre-defined set of recommended default values for the
synchronization are used.

Example 3.27. Enabling the D-Link NTP Server

To enable the use of the D-Link NTP server:

CLI

gw-world:/> set DateTime TimeSynchronization=D-Link

Web Interface

1.

Go to System > Date and Time

2.

Select the D-Link TimeSync Server radio button

3.

Click OK

As mentioned above, it is important to have an external DNS server configured so that the D-Link
Time Server URLs can be resolved during the access process.
