NTP
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is defined in RFC 1305, Network Time Protocol (Version 3)
Specification, Implementation and Analysis. It allows for participating network nodes to keep time
more accurately and maintain time in a synchronized manner between all participating network
nodes.
NTP time elements include:
• Authentication-check on page 240
• Authentication-key on page 241
• Broadcast on page 241
• Broadcastclient on page 242
• NTP-Server on page 243
• Server on page 244
Authentication-check
The authentication-check command provides for the option to skip the rejection of NTP PDUs that
do not match the authentication key or authentication type requirements. The default behavior
when authentication is configured is to reject all NTP protocol PDUs that have a mismatch in
either the authentication key-id, type, or key.
When authentication-check is configured, NTP PDUs are authenticated on receipt. However,
mismatches cause a counter to be increased, one counter for key-id, one for type, and one for key
value mismatches.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>ntp

Example
: config>system>time>ntp#
