passwords.
This makes password migration easier and more secure between the switch and its NTP resource.
7. Enter an authentication Key Value used to secure the credentials of the NTP server providing system time to the
switch.
8. Select the Trusted Key checkbox to use a trusted key.
A trusted key should be used when a public key is known, but cannot be securely obtained. Adding a trusted key allows
data to be considered secure between the switch and its SNTP resource.
9. Refer to the Status field.
The Status is the current state of the requests made from the applet. Requests are any “SET/GET” operation from the
applet. The Status field displays error messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and

Key ID
Displays a Key ID between 1-65534. The Key ID is a abbreviation allowing the
switch to reference multiple passwords. This makes password migration easier and
more secure between the switch and its NTP resource.
Key Value
Displays the authentication value used to secure the credentials of the server
providing system time to the switch.
Trusted Key
If a checkmark appears, a trusted key has been associated with a domain name. A
trusted key is added when a public key is known, but cannot be securely obtained.
Adding the trusted key allows information from the server to be considered secure.
The authentication procedures requires both the local and remote servers share the
same key and key identifier. Therefore, using key information from a trusted source
is important.
CAUTION: After an NTP synchronization using a Symmetric Key, the NTP status will not
automatically be updated.
