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 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.
