You can manage the system time and date on your access point automatically, using the Network Time Protocol (NTP), or manually, by setting the time and date on the access point. For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this section, refer to the Cisco IOS Note Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference for Release 12.2.
Page 81: Understanding Network Time Protocol
Cisco’s implementation of NTP does not support stratum 1 service; it is not possible to connect to a radio or atomic clock. We recommend that the time service for your network be derived from the public NTP servers available on the IP Internet.
Page 82: Configuring Ntp
Workstations Configuring NTP Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Points do not have a hardware-supported clock, and they cannot function as an NTP master clock to which peers synchronize themselves when an external NTP source is not available. These access points also have no hardware support for a calendar. As a result, the ntp update-calendar and the ntp master global configuration commands are not available.
Page 83: Default Ntp Configuration
The access point does not synchronize to a device unless both have one of these authentication keys, and the key number is specified by the ntp trusted-key key-number command. Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point Installation and Configuration Guide 6-17 OL-2851-01...

For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this chapter, refer to the Cisco Note Aironet 1100 Series Access Point Command Reference for this release and the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference for Release 12.2.
Page 194: Understanding Cdp
Understanding CDP Understanding CDP Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a device-discovery protocol that runs on all Cisco network equipment. Each device sends identifying messages to a multicast address, and each device monitors the messages sent by other devices. Information in CDP packets is used in network management software such as CiscoWorks2000.
