Configuring NTP
Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Points do not have a hardware-supported clock, and they cannot
function as an NTP master clock to which peers synchronize themselves when an external NTP source
is not available. These access points also have no hardware support for a calendar. As a result, the ntp
update-calendar and the ntp master global configuration commands are not available.
