To disable NTP authentication, use the no ntp authenticate global configuration command. To remove
an authentication key, use the no ntp authentication-key number global configuration command. To
disable authentication of the identity of a device, use the no ntp trusted-key key-number global
configuration command.
This example shows how to configure the switch to synchronize only to devices providing authentication
key 42 in the device's NTP packets:
Switch(config)# ntp authenticate
Switch(config)# ntp authentication-key 42 md5 aNiceKey
Switch(config)# ntp trusted-key 42
Configuring NTP Associations
An NTP association can be a peer association (this switch can either synchronize to the other device or
allow the other device to synchronize to it), or it can be a server association (meaning that only this
switch synchronizes to the other device, and not the other way around).
OL-8915-03
Purpose
Define the authentication keys. By default, none are defined.
For number, specify a key number. The range is 1 to
•
4294967295.
md5 specifies that message authentication support is provided
•
by using the message digest algorithm 5 (MD5).
For value, enter an arbitrary string of up to eight characters for
•
the key.
The switch does not synchronize to a device unless both have one
of these authentication keys, and the key number is specified by the
ntp trusted-key key-number command.
Specify one or more key numbers (defined in Step 3) that a peer
NTP device must provide in its NTP packets for this switch to
synchronize to it.
By default, no trusted keys are defined.
For key-number, specify the key defined in Step 3.
This command provides protection against accidentally
synchronizing the switch to a device that is not trusted.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
