◆ NTP authentication is optional. When enabled with the ntp
authenticate command, you must also configure at least one key
number using this command.
◆ Use the no form of this command without an argument to clear all
authentication keys in the list.

◆ The SNTP and NTP clients cannot be enabled at the same time. First
disable the SNTP client before using this command.
◆ The time acquired from time servers is used to record accurate dates
and times for log events. Without NTP, the switch only records the time
starting from the factory default set at the last bootup (i.e., 00:00:00,
Jan. 1, 2001).
