Date and time settings

Fortinet support may ask you to check the date and time settings for log message timestamp synchronization and for certificates that have a time requirement to check for validity.

To check time settings:

execute time

To check date settings:

execute date

If all devices have the same time, it helps to correlate log entries from different devices.

execute time

current time is: 12:40:48

last ntp sync:Thu Mar 16 12:00:21 2006

execute date

current date is: 2006-03-16

To force synchronization with an NTP server:

config system ntp

set ntpsync {enable | disable}

end

If all devices have the same time, it helps to correlate log entries from different devices.
