NTP Configuration error 1.42
When I turn on NTP and select Phoenix, I leave it as Host and I get a configuration error. What am I missing?

It is asking for an NTP server address not your physical address.
This is what an NTP server is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol
Here are some public NTP servers: http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/us
OK so how would the switch know the time just because you tell it you live in Phoenix?
Now if you want the switch to use a public NTP server it would have to have internet access and since most WISP including me do NOT want their switches on the world wide web they are given un-routable IPs.
How most WISPs deal with this is to run their own NTP server on the inside of their network that all their invalid equipment can get to so they can all get and have the same correct time stamps.
