The Juniper SRX Services Gateway must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks with the primary and secondary NTP servers for the network.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Description |
|---|
| The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run mode) and increasingly inaccurate time stamps on log events and other functions. Multiple time sources provide redundancy by including a secondary source. Time synchronization is usually a hierarchy; clients synchronize time to a local source while that source synchronizes its time to a more accurate source. The network device must utilize an authoritative time server and/or be configured to use redundant authoritative time sources. |
