Displaying Address Resolution Protocol Information
SafeGuard Controllers have a preset configuration for the address resolution protocol
(ARP) table and the ARP cache. SafeGuard Switches allow modification of the ARP
settings. For details on configuring ARP on the SafeGuard Switch, see Configuring Address
Resolution Protocol on page 184. To display ARP information, see Displaying ARP
Information on page 189
Setting Up the System Time and Date (SNTP)
If a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server is used to synchronize time settings in
the network, it is not necessary to manually configure clock settings for the SafeGuard
device(s). SNTP setup is discussed in Configuring SNTP on page 54.
See the following sections for more details:
■ Manually Setting the Time and Date
■ Configuring SNTP
■ Optional SNTP Client Configurations
Manually Setting the Time and Date
SafeGuard devices have an on-board real-time clock. The following settings can be
manually adjusted:
■ Timezone setting. Setting the timezone is a recommended step during product
installation.
■ Automatic changeover for daylight savings settings
■ Software system clock settings
To manually configure the time and date on the device:
1 Set the timezone. Skip this step if the timezone was set up during installation.
Heartbeat Errors 0
Window Errors 0
NOTE: The order in which clock settings are configured can affect the
accuracy of the time setting.
