Yes, there is a NTP server mode but if I recall correctly from 5.02 and above config system ntp set server-mode enable set interface xxxx end Regards, Antonio

Fortigate can be configured as NTP server. This is applicable with FortiOS 5.0 and 5.2 as well.

 

 

CLI configuration syntax-

config system ntp

set ntpsyn enable

set server-mode enable

set interface <interface_list>

end

In case you'd like to do this from the GUI:

Go to System > Dashboard > Status and in the System Information Widget click the [Change] next to the System Time

Check the Enable NTP Server box and add the interfaces you'd like to serve as NTP Server
