4.5 Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP)
Network Time Protocol (NTP) manages time and/or network clock synchronization in the access point-
managed network environment. NTP is a client/server implementation. The access point (an NTP
client) periodically synchronizes its clock with a master clock (an NTP server). For example, the access
point 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 access point's network operations. For sites using
Kerberos authentication, time synchronization is required. Use the
