Configuring VC IP address
You can specify a single static IP address that is used to manage a multi-AP Cloud Network Manager network.
This IP address is automatically provisioned on a shadow interface on the AP that takes the role of a VC. The AP
sends three Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages with the static IP address and its MAC address to
update the network ARP cache.
To configure the VC name and IP address:
1. Select Wireless Configuration > System. The System details are displayed.
2. In GENERAL, click Edit Values next to VIRTUAL CONTROLLER IP. The Edit IP Address pane is
displayed.
3. Enter the IPaddress in IP ADDRESSES.
4. Click Save.

Configuring an NTP server
To facilitate communication between various elements in a network, time synchronization between the elements
and across the network is critical. Time synchronization allows you to:
l Trace and track security gaps, network usage, and troubleshoot network issues.
l Map an event on one network element to a corresponding event on another.
l Maintain accurate time for billing services and similar.
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) helps obtain the precise time from a server and regulate the local time in each
network element. If NTP server is not configured in the Cloud Network Manager network, an AP reboot may lead to
variation in time data.
The NTP server is set to pool.ntp.org by default.
To configure an NTP server:
1. Select Wireless Configuration > System. The System details are displayed.
2. In GENERAL, enter the IP address or the URL (domain name) of the NTP server in NTP SERVER.
