A trusted key should be used when a public key is known, but cannot be securely obtained. Adding a
trusted key allows data to be considered secure between the switch and its SNTP resource.

5.3.3 Defining a NTP Neighbor Configuration

The switch's NTP association can be either a neighboring peer (the switch synchronizes to another
associated device) or a neighboring server (the switch synchronizes to a dedicated SNTP server resource).
Refer to the NTP Neighbor

providing system time to the switch.
If a checkmark appears, a trusted key has been associated with a domain name. A
trusted key is added when a public key is known, but cannot be securely obtained.
Adding the trusted key allows information from the server to be considered secure.
The authentication procedures requires both the local and remote servers share the
same key and key identifier. Therefore, using key information from a trusted source
is important.
