Configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the appliance clock
by performing one of the following options and then click COMMIT:

To automatically discover the NTP server and set the appliance time to match your network
time, enter the multicast address.
■
To manually set the appliance time to match your network time, enter the NTP server name
(s) and select an authentication key.
■
To set the appliance (server) time to match your client browser time, click SYNC.
Note - If you share filesystems using SMB and Active Directory, the client clocks must be
synchronized to within five minutes of the appliance clock to avoid user authentication errors.
One way to ensure clock synchronization is to configure the appliance and the SMB clients to
use the same NTP server.
