Cisco 1600 - Preparing Management Center for Shipment

Preconfigure Time Management
Procedure
Step 1 Synchronize time to a physical NTP server.
Step 2 Set the IP addresses for the DNS and NTP servers using one of the following methods:
• If your network at the staging location can access the DNS and NTP servers at the target location, use
the IP addresses for the DNS and NTP servers at the target location.
• If your network at the staging location cannot access the DNS and NTP servers at the target location,
use the staging location information and reset at the target location.
Step 3 Use the time zone for the target deployment if you set the time on the appliance manually instead of using
NTP. For more information, see the Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Administration Guide for
your version.
