46User Manual v16.2.1 ─ 01
The "Hostname" entered here is used to identify the gateprotect Firewall in the local
network. The host name may consist of a combination of upper and lower case letters
of the English alphabet, dashes and dots.
You can use the default host name gateprotect.intern or adjust the name to suit
your network environment. The host name must include a suffix if you intend to set up
a warning page as described under Chapter 3.3, "Firewall Rule Settings", on page 22
and "Web Filter Profiles Settings" on page 101.
Under "Captive Portal Authentication" , specify the method used to authenticate users
when they log on to the Captive Portal. You can choose between the settings
internal and LDAP from the drop-down list. However, to be able to use LDAP, you
first need to configure the "Directory Service" settings accordingly (see "Directory Ser-
vice" on page 51).
The "Path MTU Discovery" checkbox is selected by default. Path MTU Discovery
dynamically detects the maximum transmission unit (MTU) and determines the maxi-
mum packet size. Clear the checkbox to apply individual MTU values for the WAN
interfaces.
You can select your "Time Zone" from the drop-down list.
Since the system time is particularly important for services such as logging and report-
ing that rely on accurate and universally accepted timestamps, the system time is set
to Coordinated Universal Time (Etc/UTC) by default.
To manually change the "Date & Time" of the system, first click "Edit" and then on the
"Date & Time" input field. A pop-up window with a calendar and fields for changing the
date and time appears. Set the date and time as desired. If you wish to revert your
changes before saving, click "Reset" .
To set the time manually, NTP has to be disabled. Otherwise, the time will be reset
automatically as soon as the system sends the next NTP request.
You can also use remote network time protocol servers to set the system date and
time automatically. For this purpose, select the "NTP Client" checkbox. Click "Add" to
configure a new time server. Enter the IP address or the full host name of the desired
NTP server. Use the icons on the right to edit or remove an NTP server.
If more than one NTP server is configured, gateprotect Firewall automatically synchro-
nizes the system clock with the server that transmits the best time signal.
If you modify the settings, click "Save" to store your changes or "Reset" to discard
them. Otherwise, click "Close" to shut the editor panel.
Click "
Activate" in the toolbar at the top of the desktop to apply your configuration
changes.
