FMC and FTD 1120 - Timezone issue

marcoadolfo — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 09:00:20 GMT

we have a cluster of FTD at version 7.4 managed from FMC at version 7.6

On FMC we have configured user preference timezone Europe/Rome and we see the correct time.

On the Platform setting we configured the correct timezone (CET) and ntp but we have the UTC time

FIREWALL# show clock detail
Fri Oct 25 08:56:27 UTC 2024

How can I configure the FTD from FMC to have the CET time ?

I believe this is related to the following:

As shown in https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCwh84277, FTD syslog timestamps are always in UTC timezone instead of local time zone.
This is irrespective of local timezone configuration.

Have a look at this support community post: https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/looking-to-find-the-setting-where-i-can-fix-the-timezone-on-ftd/td-p/4958200

The appliance's system is not changeable and should not be changed. All functions and features (e.g., time-based ACLs) pull the time information configured in the FMC.
