Table 206
Option definitions
(continued)
Option
Definition
Enable NTP
When selected, accepts NTP messages from a specified server or a network
broadcast. NTP synchronizes timekeeping among devices in a network. Some
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide a timekeeping service. Because NTP
messages are not sent often, they do not noticeably affect the appliance's
performance.
Enable NTP client
broadcasts
When selected, accepts NTP messages from network broadcasts only. This method
is useful on a busy network but must trust other devices in the network.
When deselected, accepts NTP messages only from servers specified in the list.
NTP Server
Displays the network address or a domain name of one or more NTP servers that
the appliance uses. For example, time.nist.gov.
If you specify several servers, the appliance examines each NTP message in turn to
determine the correct time.
New Server
Type the IP address of a new NTP Server.

Remote Access
Benefits of using the remote access feature
This feature controls the access to the user interface and the secure shell, and provides an extra layer
of protection in addition to that provided by username and password authentication.
Use the out-of-band interface if you do not want the user interface or secure shell to be accessible on
the same network as the data traffic that is being scanned.
