7. Network Time Protocol (NTP) Settings
For successful and proper communication between various elements in
a network, time synchronization between the elements and across the
network is critical. Network Time Protocol (NTP), a networking protocol
for clock synchronization, is required to obtain the precise time from a
server and to regulate the local time in each network element. The NTP
server on AP devices is set to 0.pool.ntp.org by default.
