Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP)

Network Time Protocol (NTP) manages time and/or network clock synchronization in the Mobility
7131 Access Point-managed network environment. NTP is a client/server implementation. The
Mobility 7131 Access Point (an NTP client) periodically synchronizes its clock with a master clock
(an NTP server). For example, the Mobility 7131 Access Point resets its clock to 07:04:59 upon
reading a time of 07:04:59 from its designated NTP server.

Time synchronization is recommended for the access point’s network operations. For sites using
Kerberos authentication, time synchronization is required. Use the Date and Time Settings screen
to enable NTP and specify the IP addresses and ports of available NTP servers.
