Procedure
Step 1 Configure the IP addresses of the Switches and ensure that the routes between them are reachable.
Configure the IP addresses according to
Switch D are routable.
The configuration procedure is not mentioned.
Step 2 Configure a master NTP clock on Switch A and enable NTP authentication.

Configure Switch A as an NTP server and configure the master clock on Switch A.
Configure Switch B as an NTP client. Switch B synchronizes its clock with the clock of
Switch A.
Configure Switch C and Switch D to synchronize their clocks with the clock of Switch B.
Configure NTP authentication on Switch A, Switch B, Switch C, and Switch D.
NOTE
When configuring NTP authentication in unicast client/server mode, pay attention to the following
points:
l You must enable NTP authentication on the client before specifying the IP address of the NTP
server and authentication key to be sent to the server; otherwise, NTP authentication is not
performed before clock synchronization.
l To implement authentication successfully, configure both the server and the client.
