Set Time
Select this option to manually set the date and time of the FortiSandbox unit’s clock, then select the Hour, Minute, Second, Month, Day, and Year fields before you select Apply.
Synchronize with NTP Server
Select this option to automatically synchronize the date and time of the FortiSandbox unit’s clock with an NTP server. The synchronization interval is hard-coded to be 5 minutes. You can use the FortiGuard NTP server or specify one NTP server.
Server
Enter the IP address or domain name of an NTP server. To find an NTP server that you can use, go to http://www.ntp.org. Ensure that the applicable routing is configured when an NTP server is used.
- Click Apply to apply the changes, then select OK in the confirmation dialog box.
You may need to log in again after changing the time.
