CLI Commands for System Logging – To enable logging on the access point, use
the logging on command from the global configuration mode. The logging level
command sets the minimum level of message to log. Use the logging console
command to enable logging to the console. Use the logging host command to
specify up to four Syslog servers. The CLI also allows the logging facility-type
command to set the facility-type number to use on the Syslog server. To view the
current logging settings, use the show logging command.

Configuring SNTP

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the access point to set its internal
clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP). Maintaining an
accurate time on the access point enables the system log to record meaningful
dates and times for event entries. If the clock is not set, the access point will only
record the time from the factory default set at the last bootup.
The access point acts as an SNTP client, periodically sending time synchronization
requests to specific time servers. You can configure up to two time server IP
addresses. The access point will attempt to poll each server in the configured
sequence.
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.
