Chapter 3 Installing the AVS 3180
Setting the Time
Step 8 We also recommend that you change the account password from its default. To do this, use the
edit admin command:
velocity>edit admin current-name fgn new-password password
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 CLI command to set the date, time, and local time zone.
• Use the set ntp CLI 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 3180, refer to the Cisco Application Velocity
System User Guide. For an example of using the set ntp command, refer to the previous section,
Configuring Network Settings.
