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 manually set the date and time for the jetNEXUS ALB-X. Once you have set this in UTC please click Update to apply.
Time Server
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.
