Configure Device Time Zone for Policy Application

By default, the system uses the UTC time zone. To designate a different time zone for a device, use this procedure.

The time zone you specify will be used only for time-based policy application in policies that support this functionality.

Note

Time-based ACLs is supported in Snort 3 also from CDO 7.0 onwards.

Procedure

Step 1

Select Devices > Platform Settings and create or edit an FTD policy.

You can also create time zone objects from the Objects > Object Management > Time Zone page.

Step 2

Create a new time zone object by clicking +.

Step 3

Select the time zone.

Step 4

Click Save.

What to do next

  • Create time range objects, select applicable time ranges in access control and prefilter rules, and assign the parent policies to devices associated with the correct time zone.

  • Deploy configuration changes; see Deploy Configuration Changes.
