Configuring SNTP

The commands in this example configure the switch to poll an SNTP server

to synchronize the time. Additionally, the SNTP sessions between the client

and server must be authenticated.
To configure the switch:

1 Configure the authentication information. The SNTP server must be

configured with the same authentication key and ID.

console#configure

console(config)#sntp authentication-key 23456465

md5 sntpkey

console(config)#sntp trusted-key 23456465

console(config)#sntp authenticate

2 Specify the IP address of the SNTP server to poll and include the

authentication key. This command automatically enables polling and sets

the priority to 1.

console(config)#sntp server 192.168.10.30 key

23456465

console(config)#sntp unicast client enable
