Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
Enabling Secure Network Time Protocol (NTP)
5. In the Key Value field, enter any string up to 32 characters for the authen-
tication key value.
This key must match the key configured on the neighbor for which you
specify this key ID.
6. To define this key as a trusted key, check the Trusted Key box.
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module considers a neighbor that uses this
key to be a trusted source. Manually create a symmetric trusted key when
you know a neighbor’s public key, but cannot guarantee that the module
can automatically obtain that key securely from the neighbor.
7. Click the OK button. The new key is now listed in the section of the Special
Features > Secure NTP > Symmetric Keys screen.
Configuring NTP Neighbors
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module receives the time from NTP resources,
or neighbors. You can define a neighbor in one of two ways:
■ A peer—The module and the neighbor can both send time requests and
responses to each other. The two synchronize with each other.
■ A server—The module acts as a client to the neighbor. It sends time
requests to the neighbor and synchronizes to it. (The neighbor does not
synchronize with the module.)
To configure an NTP neighbor, complete these steps:
1. Select Special Features > Secure NTP and click the NTP Neighbor tab.
