resource). This designation is made when adding or editing an NTP
neighbor.
Key ID

Authentication is used to secure the interaction between the controller
and its NTP resource. This designation is made when adding or editing
an NTP neighbor.

sources (those with a checkmark) are contacted before non-preferred
resources. There can be more than one preferred source.

implementations of NTP are available. The latest version is NTPv4, but
the official Internet standard is NTPv3.
