If you don't specify the timezone then the time on the router will be set to timezone and the ASA will be UTC (or GMT).

I just configured a router to be the NTP server with an ASA being the NTP client with the following config: Router Interface fa0/0 ntp broadcast router1(config)#do sh run | inc ntp ntp authentication-key 1 md5 02050D480809 7 ntp authenticate ntp trusted-key 1 ntp source FastEthernet0/0 ntp master 5 ASA ciscoASA(config)# sh run | inc ntp ntp authentication-key 1 md5 * ntp authenticate ntp trusted-key 1 ntp server 81.1.1.2 key 1 source outside prefer I was able to get it to work but is it obligatory to configure the timezone settings on the ASA as it is the client? I did configured the timezone settings on the router as it is acting as the NTP server on the lab network. Thank you _____________________________ Allan Castro
