H3C Technologies H3C MSR 50 - Manual (Page 51)

Step Command Remarks
By default, no NTP authentication
key is configured.
ntp-service authentication-keyid
keyid authentication-mode md5
[ cipher | simple ] value
69. Configure an NTP
authentication key.
Configure the same authentication
key on the client and server.
70. Configure the key as a trusted
key. ntp-service reliable
authentication-keyid keyid By default, no authentication key is
configured to be trusted.
You can associate a non-existing
key with an NTP server. To enable
NTP authentication, you must
configure the key and specify it as
a trusted key after associating the
key with the NTP server.
ntp-service unicast-server
{ ip-address | server-name }
authentication-keyid keyid
71. Associate the specified key
with an NTP server.
Configuring NTP authentication for a server
Step Command Remarks
72. Enter system view. system-view N/A
By default, NTP authentication is
disabled.
73. Enable NTP authentication. ntp-service authentication enable
By default, no NTP authentication
key is configured.
ntp-service authentication-keyid
keyid authentication-mode md5
[ cipher | simple ] value
74. Configure an NTP
authentication key.
Configure the same authentication
key on the client and server.
75. Configure the key as a trusted
key. ntp-service reliable
authentication-keyid keyid By default, no authentication key is
configured to be trusted.
Configuring NTP authentication in symmetric peers mode
Follow these instructions to configure NTP authentication in symmetric peers mode:
• An active symmetric peer can synchronize to the passive symmetric peer only when you configure
all the required tasks on both the active symmetric peer and passive symmetric peer.
• When the active peer has a greater stratum level than the passive peer:
{
On the active peer, if NTP authentication is not enabled or no key is specified to associate with
the passive peer, the active peer synchronizes to the passive peer as long as NTP authentication
is disabled on the passive peer.
{
On the active peer, if NTP authentication is enabled and a key is associated with the passive
peer, but the key is not a trusted key, no matter whether NTP authentication is enabled or not on
the passive peer, the active peer does not synchronize to the passive peer.
• When the active peer has a smaller stratum level than the passive peer:
On the active peer, if NTP authentication is not enabled, no key is specified to associate with the
passive peer, or the key is not a trusted key, the active peer can synchronize to the passive peer
as long as NTP authentication is disabled on the passive peer.
