Date/Time Template

Configure an appliance's date and time manually, or configure it to use an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server.

n	From the Time Zone list, select the appliance's geographical location.

n	Selecting Manual will match the appliance time to your web client system time when the template is applied. This is done to eliminate the delay between configuring time manually and applying the template.

n	To use an NTP server, select NTP Time Synchronization.

•	Click Add.

•	Enter the IP address of the server, and select the version of NTP protocol to use.

When you list more than one NTP server, the Appliance Manager selects the servers in the order listed, always defaulting to the available server uppermost on the list.

Data Collection

n	Silver Peak's GMS (Global Management System) collects and puts all stats in its own database in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

n	When a user views stats, the appliance (or GMS server) returning the stats always presents the information relative to its own time zone.
