9. If the RADIUS connectivity test displays ‘Successful’ result, you must click
Save on the RADIUS Authentication screen (as depicted in Step 4) to save
your configuration.
After you save your changes, you will be logged out of the HiPath Wireless
Controller. You must use the RADIUS login user name and password to log
on the HiPath Wireless Controller.
3.4.10 Configuring network time
You should synchronize the clocks of the HiPath Wireless Controller and the
Wireless APs to ensure that the logs and reports reflect accurate time stamps.
For more information, see Chapter 11, “Working with reports and displays”.
The normal operation of the HiPath Wireless Controller will not be affected if you
do not synchronize the clock. The clock synchronization is necessary to ensure
that the logs display accurate time stamps. In addition, clock synchronization of
network elements is a prerequisite for the following configuration:
• Mobility Manager
• Session Availability
Network time synchronization
Network time is synchronized in one of two ways:
• Using the system’s time – The system’s time is the HiPath Wireless
Controller’s time.
• Using Network Time Protocol (NTP) – The Network Time Protocol is a
protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over
packet-switched data networks.
Note: If the HiPath Wireless Controller C2400 is left powered-down for more than
78 hours. In such a case, you must synchronize the network time, using the NTP
server. If the NTP server is not reachable, you must manually set the system to
the correct time.
The HiPath Wireless Controller automatically adjusts for any time change due to
Daylight Savings time.
