Configuring NTP client/server mode with authentication
Network requirements
As shown in
, perform the following configurations to synchronize the time between Device B
and Device A and ensure network security as follows:
•
The local clock of Device A is to be configured as a reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
•
Device B works in client mode and Device A is to be used as the NTP server of Device B, with Device
B as the client.
•
NTP authentication is to be enabled on both Device A and Device B.

Configuration procedure
1.
Set the IP address for each interface as shown in
. (Details not shown)
2.
Configure Device B:
<DeviceB> system-view
# Enable NTP authentication on Device B.
[DeviceB] ntp-service authentication enable
# Set an authentication key.
[DeviceB] ntp-service authentication-keyid 42 authentication-mode md5 aNiceKey
# Specify the key as a trusted key.
[DeviceB] ntp-service reliable authentication-keyid 42
# Specify Device A as the NTP server of Device B.
