Description

Network Time Protocol
(NTP)

NTP provides a way for the access point 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.

For more information on NTP, see http://www.ntp.org.

Choose to either enable or disable the use of a network time protocol (NTP) server:

• To enable the NTP server, click Enabled.

• To disable the NTP server, click Disabled.

NTP Server

If NTP is enabled, select the NTP server you want 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.
