Network Time Protocol

The Network Time Protocol transmits and receives time over TCP/IP networks. The Network Time Proto-
col is useful for synchronizing the internal clock of computers on the network to a common time source.
If you have a Network Time Protocol server in your secure network, you can use the Firebox SSL VPN
Gateway Administration Tool to configure the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway to synchronize the time with
the Network Time Protocol server.

To synchronize the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway with a Network Time Protocol server

In the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway Administration Tool, click the

VPN Gateway Cluster

tab.

2

Click the

Date

tab.

Allowing ICMP traffic

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) traffic to the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway is disabled by default.
To enable ICMP traffic, use the

VPN Gateway Cluster > Administration

tab.

When ICMP traffic is enabled, users can ping servers on the internal, secure network. The Firebox SSL
VPN Gateway itself cannot receive ICMP traffic.

To enable ICMP traffic

1

In the Administration Tool, click the

VPN Gateway Cluster

tab and select the appliance.
