5.3.3 Enabling NTP Authentication
This part describes how to set NTP Autokey authentication and MD5 authentication on the
device.
Context
NTP client synchronizes to authenticated NTP servers to ensure that time service is reliable
across the network. Authentication prevents the modification of NTP message data from
malicious network attacks.
Procedure
l
Configuring NTP MD5 authentication
NOTE
l
Configure the same authentication key on the server and client and affirm that the key is reliable;
otherwise, NTP authentication fails.
l
Enable NTP authentication before performing actual authentication.
