Date and Time Settings
Correct date and time are critical to the Cisco NAC Guest Server. The Guest Server authenticates guest
users based upon the time their accounts are valid. It is important for the time to be correct so guest
accounts are created and removed at the correct time. If possible, Cisco recommends using a Network
Time Protocol (NTP) server to synchronize the time and date.
Step 1 From the administration interface select Server > Date/Time Settings from the left hand menu
(
