Field Description
Network Time Protocol 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.
See
http://www.ntp.org for more general information on NTP.
Choose to either enable or disable the use of a network time protocol (NTP) server:
• Enabled
• 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.
