Synchronizing the system clock to DTI server time using the CLI

The system time should match the DTI server time as closely as possible. This is necessary for features such as the license update service, in which licenses are downloaded from the DTI server and installed on the Central Management System appliance.

Important

To prevent time gaps that could affect the validity of your licenses, Trellix recommends that you perform this synchronization before you enable the feature.

The fenet time sync CLI command retrieves the time (in UTC) from the DTI server and then synchronizes the system clock to it. This command is especially useful if you do not use NTP servers to synchronize your system clock.

Important

This action synchronizes the system clock to the DTI server a single time. It does not change the system time zone.

Prerequisites

Admin access

To synchronize the system clock to the DTI server clock:

Go to CLI configuration mode:

hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal

Synchronize the clocks:
```
hostname (config) # fenet time sync
```
Save your changes:
```
hostname (config) # write memory
```
