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. More specifically:
•
The local clock of Device A is to be configured as a reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
•
Device B works in the 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 for Device A and Device B at the same time.

Configuration procedure
1.
Set the IP address for each interface as shown in
. (Details not shown)
2.
Configure Device A
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
<DeviceA> system-view
[DeviceA] ntp-service refclock-master 2
3.
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 key as a trusted key.
[DeviceB] ntp-service reliable authentication-keyid 42
# Specify Device A as the NTP server of Device B.
[DeviceB] ntp-service unicast-server 1.0.1.11 authentication-keyid 42
Before Device B can synchronize its clock to that of Device A, you need to enable NTP
authentication for Device A.
Perform the following configuration on Device A:
