Setting the Time Zone
The Firebox time zone determines the date and time stamp that appear on
logs and that are displayed by services such as LogViewer, Historical
Reports, and WebBlocker. The default time zone is Greenwich Mean Time
(Coordinated Universal Time).
From Policy Manager:
1 Select Setup => Time Zone.
2 Use the drop list to select a time zone. Click OK.
WatchGuard provides a comprehensive list of time zones to accommodate areas in
the same general time zone that follow different rules regarding the observance
and/or onset and rollback of Daylight Saving Time, and other timekeeping details.
Setting a Firebox Friendly Name
You can give the Firebox a friendly name to be used in log files and
reports. If you do not specify a name, the Firebox’s IP address is used.
From Policy Manager:
1 Select Setup => Name.
The Firebox Name dialog box appears.
2 Enter the friendly name of the Firebox. Click OK.
All characters are allowed except blank spaces and forward or back slashes (/ or \).
