Platforms Supported

Usage Guidelines
• Authentication keys are stored in a key file and loaded into memory when the switch boots. The keys
loaded into memory are not trusted until this command is used.
• Once the keys are loaded into software (on boot up of the switch), they must be activated by being
labeled as trusted. A trusted key will authenticate with a server that requires authentication as long as
the key matches the server key.
• New keys must be added manually to the key file. A newly added key will not be loaded into the
switch software until the ntp key load command is issued, or the switch is rebooted.
Examples
-> ntp key 5 trusted
-> ntp key 2 untrusted
