70 System configuration management
Configuring SNTP
Using Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), the access point can set
its internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or
NTP). By maintaining an accurate time on the access point, the system log
can record meaningful dates and times for event entries. If the clock is not
set, the access point only records the time from the factory default set at
the last bootup.
The access point acts as an SNTP client, periodically sending time
synchronization requests to specific time servers. You can configure up to
two time server IP addresses. The access point attempts to poll each server
in the configured sequence.
SNTP Server—Configures the access point to operate as an SNTP client.
When enabled, at least one time server IP address must be specified.
• Primary Server: The IP address of an SNTP or NTP time server that the
access point attempts to poll for a time update.
• Secondary Server: The IP address of a secondary SNTP or NTP time
server. The access point first attempts to update the time from the
primary server; if this fails it attempts an update from the secondary
server.
Note: Using the access point, you can also disable SNTP and set the
system clock manually.
Set Time Zone—SNTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (or UTC, formerly
Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT) based on the time at the Earth’s prime
meridian, zero degrees longitude. To display a time corresponding to your
local time, you must indicate the number of hours your time zone is located
before (east) or after (west) UTC.
Enable Daylight Saving—The access point provides a way to automatically
adjust the system clock for Daylight Saving Time changes. To use this
feature you must define the month and date to begin and to end the change
from standard time. During this period, the system clock is set forward
by one hour.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication protocol
designed specifically for managing devices on a network. Equipment
commonly managed with SNMP includes switches, routers, and host
computers. SNMP is typically used to configure these devices for proper
operation in a network environment, as well as to monitor them to evaluate
performance or detect potential problems.
