with the clock by the device at IP address 172.16.22.44 using NTP version 2:

Key number of authentication key to be trusted.
 
Command Mode

Default

Usage 
If authentication is enabled, use this command to define one or more key numbers (corresponding to 
the keys defined with the ntp key command) that a peer NTP system must provide in its NTP packets, 
in order for this system to synchronize to it. This function provides protection against accidentally 
synchronizing the system to a system that is not trusted, because the other system must know the 
correct authentication key. 
 
Examples 
The following example shows how to configure the system to synchronize only to systems providing 
authentication key 42 in its NTP packets:
