The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is an Internet standard protocol that synchronizes computer clock times on your network.
NTP servers transmit Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time) to their client systems. NTP
sends periodic time requests to servers, using the returned time stamp to adjust its clock. The timestamp is used to indicate
the date and time of each event in log messages.
See
http://www.ntp.org
for more information about NTP.
To configure the address of the NTP server that the AP uses, click the
Time
tab and update the fields as described in
Table 34
. This page is also accessible from the
Tools > SNTP
menu on the main menu bar.
Figure 24: Enabling Network Time Protocol Server
To configure your AP to use a network time protocol (
NTP
) server, first
enable the use of NTP, and then identify the NTP
server you want to use.

Description
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
NTP provides a way for the AP to obtain and maintain its time from a server on the
network. Using an NTP server gives your AP the ability to provide the correct time of day
in log messages and session information.
Choose to either enable or disable use of a network time protocol (NTP) server:
•
To permit the AP to poll an NTP server, click
Enabled
.
•
To prevent the AP from polling an NTP server, click
Disabled
.
NTP Server
If NTP is enabled, specify the NTP server to use.
You can specify the NTP server by host name or IP address, although using the IP
address is not recommended as these can change more readily.
Note:
After you configure the Time settings, you must click
Apply
to apply the changes and to save the settings.
Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients
will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low.
