Parameters
keyid: Specifies a key ID to identify an authentication key, in the range of 1 to 4294967295.
authentication-mode md5 value: Uses the MD5 algorithm for key authentication.
simple: Sets a plaintext authentication key.
cipher: Sets a ciphertext authentication key.

characters. If cipher is specified, it is a string of 1 to 73 characters.
Usage guidelines
You need to enable SNTP authentication in networks that require time synchronization security to
make sure SNTP clients are synchronized only to authenticated NTP servers.
Configure the same key ID and key value on the SNTP client and NTP server. Otherwise, the SNTP
client cannot be synchronized to the NTP server. After you configure an SNTP authentication key,
use the sntp reliable authentication-keyid command to set it as a trusted key. The key
automatically changes to untrusted after you delete the key. In this case, you do not need to execute
the undo sntp-service reliable authentication-keyid command.
You can set a maximum of 128 keys by executing the command.
The authentication key, set in either plain text or cipher text, is saved to the configuration file in cipher
text.
Examples
# Set an MD5 authentication key, with the key ID of 10 and key value of BetterKey. Input the key in
plain text.
