System Configuration

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-serverdaylight-savingcommand to set
