For a minimal config, the master just needs the command "ntp master" and the authentication key. With NTP the master just hands out the key, it is up to the client to decide whether they determine that it is valid.
Other devices just need the key, and the command 'ntp server x.x.x.x key yy'. Verify with show ntp associations detail, and make sure that your clients show as "authenticated" On 6/2/08, Roger RPF <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Group, > > If I have a NTP master and want to use authentication with all my clients, > is it not necessary to use the command ntp authenticate on the master? > > Master: > ntp master 3 > ntp source loopback 0 > ntp authentication key 1 md5 test > ntp authenticate --> necessary?? > > Client: > ntp server x.x.x.x key 1 > ntp authenticae > ntp trusted-key 1 > ntp authentication key 1 md5 test > > regards > > Roger > >
