4.4.11.2 Configuring SNTP
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the AP to set its internal clock based
on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP). Maintaining an accurate
time on the AP enables the system log to record meaningful dates and times for
event entries. If the clock is not set, the AP will only record the time from the
factory default set at the last bootup.
The AP 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
AP will attempt to poll each server in the configured sequence.
SNTP Server – Configures the AP 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 AP
attempts to poll for a time update.
Secondary Server: The IP address of a secondary SNTP or NTP time server. The
AP first attempts to update the time from the primary server; if this fails it
attempts an update from the secondary server.
