Configuring time zone and NTP settings
On the Time Zone and NTP Settings page of the Initial Setup wizard, you can set the time zone of the
virtual appliance that hosts ASM and configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers used for time
synchronization.
NOTE: Configuring NTP adjusts your ASM system time. Your current user session ends if the time is
adjusted forward. The time will sync 5–10 minutes after this step. If this occurs, log in to ASM again
and continue with the setup process.
NOTE: When adding NTP server settings in the OS section of a server component, if more than one
NTP server is necessary, ensure to separate the IP addresses using a comma (,).
1. On the Time Zone and NTP Settings page of the Initial Setup wizard, from the Time Zone drop-
down list, select the time zone in which the virtual appliance operates.
2. To synchronize the time with the NTP server, enter the IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN) of a Preferred NTP Server and Secondary NTP Server (optional).
3. Click Save and Continue.
After the initial setup is complete, to change NTP server information, click Setting → Virtual Appliance
Management
. On the Virtual Appliance Management page, click Edit in the Time Zone and NTP Settings
