NTP authentication, do the following:

1. Enter the Configuration Terminal mode:

ntp authenticate

3. Define an authentication key. In the following example, the key

number is “777,” the authentication type is MD5, and the key name is

You may define multiple authentication keys.

Make sure the authentication key is synchronized with an external
device.
