A water-utility time-based Distributed Firewall allow for a vendor window never turns on, because NSX Manager is in UTC and staff scheduled the window in local time. What should the administrator fix?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Time-based rules use the Manager clock, not the wall clock in the plant. If Manager is UTC and the window was typed as local, the gate never opens. Fix the time zone and window, and leave NTP on.
Full Explanation
Time-based Distributed Firewall policy depends on correct time and time zone on NSX Manager. A window entered as local time against a UTC Manager never becomes active. Carbon Black Cloud and Workspace ONE Access do not schedule DFW; disabling NTP makes the problem worse.
