Chapter 7 Administering the Switch
Managing the System Time and Date
Configuring NTP
The switch does not have a hardware-supported clock and cannot function as an NTP master clock to
which peers synchronize themselves when an external NTP source is not available. The switch also has
no hardware support for a calendar. As a result, the
ntp update-calendar
and the
ntp master
global
configuration commands are not available.
These sections contain this configuration information:

Displaying the NTP Configuration, page 7-11
Default NTP Configuration
shows the default NTP configuration.
NTP is enabled on all interfaces by default. All interfaces receive NTP packets.
Configuring NTP Authentication
This procedure must be coordinated with the administrator of the NTP server; the information you
configure in this procedure must be matched by the servers used by the switch to synchronize its time to
the NTP server.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to authenticate the associations (communications
between devices running NTP that provide for accurate timekeeping) with other devices for security
purposes:
