Configuring NTP (CLI)

Language:

Under configuration services ntp, edit authorizations with the authkey command:

hostname:configuration services ntp> authkey
hostname:configuration services ntp authkey>

From this context, new keys can be added with the create command:

hostname:configuration services ntp authkey> create
hostname:configuration services ntp authkey-000 (uncommitted)> get
                        keyno = (unset)
                         type = (unset)
                          key = (unset)
hostname:configuration services ntp authkey-000 (uncommitted)> set keyno=1
                        keyno = 1 (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp authkey-000 (uncommitted)> set type=A 
                         type = A (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp authkey-000 (uncommitted)> set key=coconuts
                          key = ******** (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp authkey-000 (uncommitted)> commit
hostname:configuration services ntp authkey>

To associate authentication keys with servers via the CLI, the serverkeys property should be set to a list of values in which each value is a key to be associated with the corresponding server in the servers property.
If a server does not use authentication, the corresponding server key should be set to 0. For example, to use the key created above to authenticate the servers "gefilte" and "carp":
```
hostname:configuration services ntp> set servers=gefilte,carp
                      servers = gefilte,carp (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp> set serverkeys=1,1
                   serverkeys = 1,1 (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp> commit
hostname:configuration services ntp>
```
To associate authentication keys with servers, set the serverkeys property to a list of values in which each value is a key to be associated with the corresponding server in the servers property.
If a server does not use authentication, the corresponding server key should be set to 0. For example, to use the key created above to authenticate the servers "gefilte" and "carp":
```
hostname:configuration services ntp> set servers=gefilte,carp
                      servers = gefilte,carp (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp> set serverkeys=1,1
                   serverkeys = 1,1 (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp> commit
hostname:configuration services ntp>
```

To authenticate the server "gefilte" with key 1, "carp" with key 2 and "dory" with key 3:

hostname:configuration services ntp> set servers=gefilte,carp,dory
                      servers = gefilte,carp,dory (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp> set serverkeys=1,2,3
                   serverkeys = 1,2,3 (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp> commit
hostname:configuration services ntp>

To authenticate the servers "gefilte" and "carp" with key 1, and to additionally have an unauthenticated NTP server "dory":

hostname:configuration services ntp> set servers=gefilte,carp,dory
                      servers = gefilte,carp,dory (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp> set serverkeys=1,1,0
                   serverkeys = 1,1,0 (uncommitted)
hostname:configuration services ntp> commit
hostname:configuration services ntp>
