Why does it need to configure NTP for wireless devices associated with Cloudnet, can it not be configured?

No, the information exchanged between the Cloudnet platform and the device must be based on the same timeline, so as to ensure the accuracy of the data, so the correct NTP service needs to be configured. If NTP is not configured, the number of terminals and APs on Cloudnet may be abnormal. The configuration reference is as follows:

clock protocol ntp   //Get the time from the network through the NTP protocol

ntp-service enable   //Enable NTP service

ntp-service unicast-server time.nist.gov   //Specify NTP server for the device

clock timezone Beijing add 08:00:00   //Configure the time zone where the system is located
