Table 22-3 Time and Date Setting Fields
FIELD DESCRIPTION
Enter the time service protocol that your time server sends when you turn on the
ZyWALL. Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have to check with
your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol that works. The
main differences between them are the format.
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of seconds
since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
