By default, the W-IAP tries to connect to pool.ntp.org to synchronize time. A different NTP server can be
configured either from the UI. It can also be provisioned through the DHCP option 42. If the NTP server is
configured, it takes precedence over the DHCP option 42 provisioned value. The NTP server provisioned
through the DHCP option 42 is used if no server is configured. The default server pool.ntp.org is used if no
NTP server is configured or provisioned through DHCP option 42..
If the system clock is ahead of the NTP synchronized time by one hour, the W-IAP automatically reboots.
You can configure an NTP server by using the Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
To configure an NTP server:
1. Navigate to System>General.
2. Enter the IP address or the URL (domain name) of the NTP server in the NTP Server text box.
3. Click OK.
4. Reboot the W-IAP.
In the CLI
To configure an NTP server:
(Instant AP)(config)# ntp-server <name>
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To check the NTP status and association, run the show clock and show process commands.
Enabling AppRF Visibility
If your W-IAP supports the AppRF feature, you can enable AppRF visibility to view the AppRF statistics for a W-
IAP or the clients associated with a W-IAP. For more information on the procedure for enabling AppRF
visualization, see Enabling Application Visibility on page 260.
Changing Password
You can update your password details by using the Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
1. Navigate to System>Admin.
2. Under Local, provide a new password that you would like the admin users to use.
3. Click OK.
In the CLI
To change password for the admin user:
(Instant AP)(config)# mgmt-user <username> [password]
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
