Table 306
Option definitions — Routing
(continued)
Option
Definition
Metric
Specifies the preference given to the route. A low number indicates a high
preference for that route.
New Route
Add a new route to the table. Use the arrows to move the route up and down the
list. The routes are chosen based on their metric value.
Enable dynamic
routing
Use this option in transparent router mode only. When enabled, the appliance can:
receive broadcast routing information received over RIP (default) that it applies its
routing table so you don't have to duplicate routing information on the appliance
that is already present in the network.
broadcast routing information if static routes have been configured through the
user interface over RIP.
Time Settings
Use this page in the Custom Setup Wizard to set the time and date, and any details for the use of the
Network Time Protocol (NTP).
NTP synchronizes timekeeping among devices in a network. Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
provide a timekeeping service. For more information about NTP, see RFC 1305 at www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/
rfc1305.html, www.ntp.org or www.ntp.isc.org
The appliance can synchronize its time settings to other devices, keeping its own logs, reports and
schedules accurate. Because NTP messages are not sent often, they do not noticeably affect the
appliance's performance.
Table 307

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.
If you specify several servers, the appliance examines each NTP message in
turn to determine the correct time.
Password
Use this page in the Custom Setup Wizard to specify a password for the appliance.
For a strong password, include letters and numbers. You can type up to 15 characters.
