7-56 WS2000 Wireless Switch System Reference Guide
Enter the minimum number of packets that must pass through the device before an SNMP rate trap will be
sent. It is recommended to set this value no less than 1000.
7.12 Specifying a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server
Network Time Protocol (NTP) manages time and clock synchronization in a network environment. The switch,
which acts as an NTP client, periodically synchronizes its clock with a master clock on an NTP server. Time
synchronization is typically optional (although recommended) for the switch’s network operations; however,
for sites using Kerberos authentication, time synchronization is required. Kerberos must synchronize the
clocks of its Key Distribution Center (KDC) server(s).
Select System Configuration --> NTP Servers from the left menu to enable NTP. The NTP Server screen
appars.
1. The field on the left of the Current Time area displays what the switch believes is the current time. Click
the Refresh button to update that time. If an NTP server is configured, the switch will go out to the
network to update its current time.
2. Specify a time zone by selecting the appropriate zone from the Time Zone list.
Average Retries The maximum threshold for the average number of retries for each of the devices before a
trap is sent.
% Gave Up The maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets that are given up for each of
the devices before a trap is sent.
% Dropped The maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets that are dropped for each of
the devices before a trap is sent.
% Undecryptable The maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets that are undecryptable for each
of the devices before a trap is sent. Undecryptable packets can be the result of corrupt
packets, bad CRC checks, or incomplete packets.
Associated MUs The maximum threshold for the total number of MUs associated with each of the devices
before a trap is sent.
