Fix Recommendation

Configure the BIG-IP appliance to synchronize internal information system clocks with the primary and secondary time sources located in different geographic regions using redundant authoritative time sources.

Check Contents

Determine if the BIG-IP appliance is configured to synchronize internal information system clocks with the primary and secondary time sources located in different geographic regions using redundant authoritative time sources.

Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> Configuration >> Device >> NTP.

Verify there is a primary time source and a secondary time source configured that are in different geographic regions.

If the BIG-IP appliance is not configured to synchronize internal information system clocks with the primary and secondary time sources located in different geographic regions using redundant authoritative time sources, this is a finding.
