it as a trusted key after associating
the key with the broadcast server.

Configuring NTP authentication in multicast mode
When configuring NTP authentication in multicast mode, configure the required tasks on both the
multicast client and multicast server, and associate the key with the multicast server on the server.
•
If the NTP authentication is not enabled, no key is associated with the multicast server on the
multicast server, or the key is not a trusted key, the clock of the multicast server can be synchronized
to the multicast client as long as NTP authentication is disabled on the client.
•
If the NTP authentication is enabled, a key is associated with the multicast server on the multicast
server, and the key is a trusted key, the clock of the multicast server can be synchronized to the
multicast client as long as NTP authentication is enabled on the client.
