Usage
After configuring the ntp authentication-key command, configure the ntp
Information
trusted-key command to complete NTP authentication.
FTOS versions 8.2.1.0 and later use an encryption algorithm to store the authentication key that
is different from previous FTOS versions; beginning in version 8.2.1.0, FTOS uses DES
encryption to store the key in the startup-config when you enter the ntp
authentication-key command. Therefore, if your system boots with a startup-
configuration from an FTOS versions prior to 8.2.1.0 in which you have configured ntp
authentication-key, the system cannot correctly decrypt the key, and cannot
authenticate NTP packets. In this case you must re-enter this command and save the running-
config to the startup-config.
