Parameter Description
CLI Configuration
NTP helps obtain the precise time from a server and
regulate the local time in each network element.
Connectivity to a valid NTP server is required to
synchronize the W-IAP clock to set the correct time.
If NTP server is not configured in the W-IAP network,
an W-IAP reboot may lead to variation in time data.
By default, the W-IAP tries to connect to
pool.ntp.org to synchronize time. The NTP server
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.
NOTE: To facilitate zero-touch provisioning using
the AMP or Activate, you must configure the firewall
and wired infrastructure to either allow the NTP
traffic to pool.ntp.org, or provide alternative NTP
servers under DHCP options.
Timezone
Timezone in which the W-IAP must operate. You can
also enable daylight saving time (DST) on W-IAPs if
the time zone you selected supports the daylight
saving time. When enabled, the DST ensures that
the W-IAPs reflect the seasonal time changes in the
region they serve.
To configure timezone:
(Instant AP)(config)
# clock timezone
<name> <hour-offset>
<minute-offset>
To configure daylight
saving time:
(Instant AP)(config)
# clock summer-time
<timezone> recurring
<start-week> <start-
day> <start-month>
<start-hour> <end-
week> <end-day>
<end-month> <end-
hour>
Preferred Band
The preferred band for the W-IAP.
NOTE: Reboot the W-IAP after modifying the radio
profile for changes to take effect.
(Instant AP)(config)
# rf-band <band>
AppRF Visibility Select one of the following options from the AppRF
visibility drop-down list.
l App—Displays only inbuilt Deep Packet
Inspection (DPI) data.
l WebCC—Displays the DPIdata hosted on the
cloud.
(Instant AP)(config)
