NTP Authentication
Supermicro switches support NTP authentication by the NTP server. The authentication data is
encrypted by an MD5 algorithm. The NTP authentication key can be configured in the switch and this
must be matched with the NTP authentication key in the NTP server. The authentication key is an NTP
key number and text pair.
