Configuring NTP Server/Client Mode with Authentication
Network requirements
z
The local clock of AC A is to be configured as a reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
z
AC B works in the client mode and AC A is to be used as the NTP server of AC B, with AC B as the
client.
z
NTP authentication is to be enabled for AC A and AC B at the same time.

Configuration procedure
1) Configuration on AC A:
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
system-view
[AC A] ntp-service refclcok-master 2
2) Configuration on AC B:
system-view
# Enable NTP authentication on AC B.
[AC B] ntp-service authentication enable
# Set an authentication key.
[AC B] ntp-service authentication-keyid 42 authentication-mode md5 aNiceKey
# Specify the key as key as a trusted key.
[AC B] ntp-service reliable authentication-keyid 42
