Enable MD5 authentication for the NTP server:
Switch:1#(config)# ntp server 192.0.2.187 auth-enable
Assign an authentication key to the server:
Switch:1#(config)# ntp server 192.0.2.187 authentication-key 5
Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to use the ntp and ntp server commands.
Table 35: Variable definitions
Variable Value
A.B.C.D Specifies the IP address of the server.
auth-enable Activates MD5 or SHA1 authentication on this NTP server. The
default is no authentication. To set this option to the default
value, use the default operator with the command.
authentication-key <1-2147483647>
WORD<0–20>
Creates an authentication key for MD5 or SHA1 authentication.
To set this option to the default value, use the default operator
with the command. The default configuration is to delete the
authentication key.
authentication-key <0-2147483647> Specifies the key ID value used to generate the MD5 or SHA1
digest for the NTP server. The value range is an integer from 0–
2147483647. The default value is 0, which indicates disabled
authentication. To set this option to the default value, use the
default operator with the command.
type <md5|sha1> Specifies the type of authentication, whether MD5 or SHA1. The
default is MD5 authentication.
NTP configuration using EDM
This section describes how to configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP) using Enterprise Device
Manager (EDM).
Before you configure NTP, you must perform the following tasks:
• Configure an IP interface on the switch and ensure that the NTP server is reachable through
this interface. For instructions, see Configuring IP Routing on Avaya Virtual Services Platform
7200 Series and 8000 Series, NN47227-505.
Important:
NTP server MD5 authentication or SHA1 authentication does not support passwords (keys) that
start with a special character or that contain a space between characters.
This task flow shows you the sequence of procedures you perform to configure NTP.
