Required
For the client in the NTP
broadcast/multicast mode, you
just need to associate the
specified key with the client on
the corresponding server.
z
NTP authentication requires that the authentication keys configured for the server and the client be
the same. Besides, the authentication keys must be trusted keys. Otherwise, the clock of the client
cannot be synchronized with that of the server.
z
In NTP server mode and NTP peer mode, you need to associate the specified key with the
corresponding NTP server (symmetric-active peer) on the client (symmetric-passive peer). In these
two modes, multiple NTP servers (symmetric-active peers) may be configured for a client/passive
peer, and therefore, the authentication key is required to determine which NTP server the local
clock is synchronized to.
Configuring NTP authentication on the server
Follow these steps to configure NTP authentication on the server:
