Configuration example for NTP client/server mode with

authentication

Network requirements

As shown in

Figure 15

, perform the following configurations to synchronize the time between Device B

and Device A and ensure network security.

The local clock of Device A is to be configured as a reference source, with the stratum level 2.

Device B operates in 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 on both Device A and Device B.

Configuration procedure

1.

Set the IP address for each interface as shown in

Figure 15

. (Details not shown.)

2.

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 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, enable NTP authentication for

Device A.
Perform the following configuration on Device A:
# Enable NTP authentication.

[DeviceA] ntp-service authentication enable

# Set an authentication key.

[DeviceA] ntp-service authentication-keyid 42 authentication-mode md5 aNiceKey
