FTD and FMC time synchronisation error

[jmendonc]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a FTD and FMC on my VMware Fusion with the MAC being the host.

The FTD was added to my FMC successfully. But i ended up getting time synchronisation errors.

Can you please tell me how do I set up a NTP server on my MAC and get both my FMC and FTD synchronised to that?

or is there any other easier way to do this?

Regards

Joyal

what are the FMC and FTD versions?
alternatively, setup NTP on both ..

Hey Kasun,

Both my FTD and FMC are running 6.0.1.

From what I understand FTD has to be configured from FMC.

So can you show me a quick example on how to setup NTP servers on both of them or maybe direct me to any documentation available on this.

Thanks in advance
