Secure Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
Secure Network Time Protocol (SNTP) manages time and/or network clock synchronization within
the switch managed network. SNTP is a client/server implementation. The switch (a SNTP client)
periodically synchronizes its clock with a master clock (an NTP server). For example, the switch
resets its clock to 07:04:59 upon reading a time of 07:04:59 from its designated NTP server. Time
synchronization is recommended for the switch's network operations. The following holds true:

For information on configuring the switch to support SNTP, see
5-282.
Password Recovery
The access point has a means of restoring its password to its default value. Doing so also reverts
the access point's security, radio and power management configuration to their default settings.
Only an installation professional should reset the access point's password and promptly define a
new restrictive password.
To contact Brocade Support in the event of a password reset requirement, go to

CAUTION
Only a qualified installation professional should set or restore the access point's radio and power
management configuration in the event of a password reset.
