Date & Time
The Services–>Date & Time page allows you to manually set the Date and Time on your jetNEXUS ALB-X. You can also configure a network time server to synchronise the time on your appliance.
The page is organised into the two sections below.
Date & Time
In this section you can view the current Date and Time. This is usually set for Universal Time Zone or UTC.
- If you wish to change this time to your local time so that your logs will reflect this please set the Date and Time manually in the format stipulated in the box below.
- Once you have set this please click Update to apply.
- You should then see the new Date and Time in bold
In this section you can configure a time server to keep the jetNEXUS ALB-X synchronised. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronisation between computer systems over variable-latency networks.
Time Server URL:
Choose the IP address or fully qualified domain name or the NTP server.
Update at [hh:mm]
Select the time that you would like to first access the time server to synchronise.
Update Period [hours]:
Select how often you would like synchronisation to occur.
NTP Type:
Public SNTP V4 – This is the current and preferred method when synchronising with an NTP server. RFC 5905
NTP v1 Over TCP – Legacy NTP version over TCP. RFC 1059
NTP v1 Over UDP – Legacy NTP version over UDP. RFC 1059
The example above would synchronise every hour at 7 minutes past the hour with pool.ntp.org. Please not that synchronisation is in UTC only. If you wish to set local time this can only be done manually. This will be changed in later versions to enable the ability to select a time zone.
