Basic Device Configuration 33
Date and Time
The time set on an SSG 140 device affects events such as the setup of VPN tunnels.
The easiest way to set the date and time on the device is to use the WebUI to
synchronize the device system clock with the workstation clock.
To configure the date and time on a device, use the WebUI or CLI as follows:
WebUI
1. Configuration > Date/Time: Click the Sync Clock with Client button.
A pop-up message prompts you to specify if you have enabled the daylight
saving time option on your workstation clock.
2. Click Yes to synchronize the system clock and adjust it according to
daylight saving time, or click No to synchronize the system clock without
adjusting for daylight saving time.
You can also use the set clock CLI command in a Telnet or Console session to
manually enter the date and time for the device.
Administrative Access
By default, anyone in your network can manage a device if they know the login and
password.
To configure the device to be managed only from a specific host on your network,
use the WebUI or CLI as follows:
WebUI
Configuration > Admin > Permitted IPs: Enter the following, then click Add:
IP Address/Netmask: ip_addr/mask
CLI
set admin manager-ip ip_addr/mask
save
Management Services
ScreenOS provides services for configuring and managing the device, such as
SNMP, SSL, and SSH, which you can enable on a per-interface basis.
To configure the management services on the device, use the WebUI or CLI as
follows:
WebUI
Network > Interfaces > List > Edit (for ethernet0/0): Under Management
Services, select or clear the management services you want to use on the
interface, then click Apply.
