Cisco Cisco 2700 Series Wireless Location Appliance

The next time you log in using root, you will only get the Linux shell prompt and not the setup script. 
You can rerun the setup script at any time to change settings by logging in using root and running 
/opt/locserver/setup/setup.sh.

The setup script generates a log file that can be found at /opt/locserver/logs/setup.sh.

You can configure NTP servers to set up the time and date of the 2700 location appliance.

The /etc/ntp.conf file is the main configuration file in which you place the IP addresses or DNS names 
of the NTP servers you want to use (see the following example). 

To get NTP configured to start at bootup, enter the following:

[root@loc-server1]# chkconfig ntpd on

To start, stop, and restart NTP after booting, follow these examples:

[root@loc-server1]# service ntpd start

[root@loc-server1]# service ntpd stop

[root@loc-server1]# service ntpd restart

After configuring and starting NTP, make sure it is working properly. To test whether the NTP process 
is running, use the following command:

[root@loc-server1]# pgrep ntpd

You should get a response of plain old process ID numbers.

Enter the ntpdate -u<serverIP> command to force your server to become instantly synchronized with 
its NTP servers before starting the NTP deamon for the first time (see the following example).

[root@loc-server1]# service ntpd stop

[root@loc-server1] ntpdate -u 192.168.1.100

Looking for host 192.168.1.100 and service ntp

host found: ntpl.my-site.com

[root@smallfry tmp]# service ntpd start

For more information on the NTP configuration, consult the Linux configuration guides.
