Usage Information
After conguring the ntp authentication-key command, congure the ntp trusted-key
command to complete NTP authentication.
Dell Networking OS versions 8.2.1.0 and later use an encryption algorithm to store the authentication key
that is dierent from previous Dell Networking OS versions; beginning in version 8.2.1.0, Dell Networking OS
uses DES encryption to store the key in the startup-cong when you enter the
ntp authentication-
key command. Therefore, if your system boots with a startup-conguration from an Dell Networking OS
versions prior to 8.2.1.0 in which you have congured 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-cong to the startup-cong.
