Access Point Statistics
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is central to networks that rely on their access point(s) to supply system time. Without NTP, access
point supplied network time is unpredictable, which can result in data loss, failed processes, and compromised security. With
network speed, memory, and capability increasing at an exponential rate, the accuracy, precision, and synchronization of
network time is essential in an access point managed enterprise network. The access point can use a dedicated server to supply
system time. The access point can also use several forms of NTP messaging to sync system time with authenticated network
traffic.
The Network Time screen provides detailed statistics of an associated NTP Server of an access point. Use this screen to review
the statistics for each access point.
The Network Time statistics screen consists of two tabs:
• NTP Status
• NTP Association
Displays the authentication status of requesting clients.
Displays the name of the access point WLAN utilizing the captive portal.
Displays the name of the access point VLAN the requesting client uses a virtual interface for
captive portal sessions.
Displays the time after which the client is disconnected from the captive portal hosted
Internet.
Select the Refresh button to update the screen's statistics counters to their latest values.
