Configuring SNTP Authentication
Use the
SNTP Authentication
page to configure encryption keys, which contain
the identifying information that the switch uses to authenticate to STNP servers.
You also use this page to enable the SNTP authentication service.
When you define SNTP servers that the switch can use, you specify whether a
server uses authentication and which authentication key it uses.
NOTE
You must configure at least one trusted authentication key before you enable SNTP
authentication. Otherwise, the
Failed to enable SNTP Authentication
message displays.
To configure an authentication key and enable this service:
STEP 1
Click
Administration
>
Time Settings
>
SNTP Authentication
in the navigation
window.
The SNTP Authentication Table displays each currently configured authentication
key and whether the key is currently enabled for use as a trusted key.
STEP 2
Select
Enable
to require the switch to authenticate to an SNTP server before
synchronizing its time.
STEP 3
Click
Apply
. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.
