System Configuration
5-38
SNTP Server – Configures the access point 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 access point attempts to poll for a time update.
• Secondary Server: The IP address of a secondary SNTP or
NTP time server. The access point first attempts to update the
time from the primary server; if this fails it attempts an update
from the secondary server.
Note: The SNTP is disabled, you can manually set the date and time of
the system clock.
Set Time Zone – SNTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (or
UTC, formerly Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT) based on the time
at the Earth’s prime meridian, zero degrees longitude. To display
a time corresponding to your local time, you must indicate the
number of hours your time zone is located before (east) or after
(west) UTC.
Enable Daylight Saving – The access point provides a way to
automatically adjust the system clock for Daylight Savings Time
changes. To use this feature you must define the month and date
to begin and to end the change from standard time. During this
period the system clock is set back by one hour.
CLI Commands for SNTP – To enable SNTP support on the
access point, from the global configuration mode specify SNTP
server IP addresses using the sntp-server ip command, then
use the sntp-server enable command to enable the service. Use
the sntp-server timezone command to set the time zone for your
location, and the sntp-server daylight-saving command to set
