Authentication-key

This command configures an authentication key ID, key type, and key used to authenticate NTP PDUs sent to and received from other network elements participating in the NTP protocol. For authentication to work, the authentication key ID, authentication type and authentication key value must match.

Use the following CLI syntax to configure an authentication key ID, key type, and key.

config>system>time>ntp
        authentication-key key-id {key key} [hash | hash2] type 
        {des|message-digest}

Example: Command usage

The following example shows the command usage to configure an authentication key ID, key type, and key.

	 config>system>time>ntp# 
	config>system>time>ntp# authentication-key 1 key A type des
	config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown

Example: Configuration output
