configure NTP broadcasts<br />

With FTOS, you can receive broadcasts of time information. You can set interfaces within the system to<br />

receive NTP information through broadcast.<br />

To configure an interface to receive NTP broadcasts, use the following commands in the INTERFACE<br />

mode:<br />

Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose<br />

ntp broadcast client INTERFACE Set the interface to broadcast NTP packets.<br />

To view the NTP configuration on the interface, use the show config command in the INTERFACE mode.<br />

configure NTP authentication<br />

NTP authentication and the corresponding trusted key provide a reliable means of exchanging NTP<br />

packets with trusted time sources. NTP authentication begins when the first NTP packet is created<br />

following the configuration of keys. NTP authentication in FTOS uses the MD5 algorithm and the key is<br />

embedded in the synchronization packet that is sent to an NTP time source.<br />

To configure NTP authentication, use these commands in the following sequence in the<br />

CONFIGURATION mode:<br />
