Managing The System Time And Date; Configuring The Time And Date Manually; Configuring An Ntp Server - Cisco SD2008T-NA Configuration Manual

Chapter 4 Configuring Controller SettingsWireless Device Access
Enter the WLAN 1 SSID, or network name. This is the default SSID that lightweight access points use
Step 15
to associate to a controller.
Step 16 Allow or disallow Static IP Addresses for clients. Enter yes to allow clients to supply their own IP
addresses. Enter no to require clients to request an IP Address from a DHCP server.
Step 17 If you need to configure a RADIUS Server, enter yes, and enter the RADIUS server IP address, the
communication port, and the shared secret. If you do not need to configure a RADIUS server or you want
to configure the server later, enter no.
Enter a country code for the unit. Enter help to list the supported countries.
Step 18
Note
Enable and disable support for 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g.
Step 19
Enable or disable radio resource management (RRM) (auto RF).
Step 20
When you answer the last prompt, the controller saves the configuration, reboots with your changes, and
prompts you to log in or to enter recover-config to reset to the factory default configuration and return
to the wizard.

Managing the System Time and Date

You can configure the controller to obtain the time and date from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server,
or you can configure the time and date manually.

Configuring the Time and Date Manually

On the CLI, enter show time to check the system time and date. If necessary, enter
config time mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss to set the time and date.
To enable Daylight Saving Time, enter config time timezone enable.

Configuring an NTP Server

Each NTP server IP address is added to the controller database. Each controller searches for an NTP
server and obtains the current time upon reboot and at each user-defined polling interval (daily to
weekly).
On the CLI, enter config time ntp server-ip-address to specify the NTP server for the controller. Enter
config time ntp interval to specify, in seconds, the polling interval.
For access points to successfully join a Cisco WLAN controller, Cisco recommends that you configure

When you run the wizard on a wireless controller network module installed in a Cisco Integrated
Services Router, the wizard prompts you for NTP server settings. The controller network module
does not have a battery and cannot save a time setting. It must receive a time setting from an NTP
server when it powers up.
