Chapter 6: Setting System Time
System > Time
The System > Time page defines the time and date settings to time stamp log events, to
automatically update SonicWALL Security Services, and for other internal purposes.
By default, the SonicWALL security appliance uses an internal list of public NTP servers to
automatically update the time. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol used to synchronize
computer clock times in a network of computers. NTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to
synchronize computer clock times to a millisecond, and sometimes to a fraction of a millisecond.
