Section 9.0: IP Services and Protocol-Independent Features

9.1. NTP

1. Configure R7 as the NTP server with R2 and Switch1 as clients with MD5 authentication, as demonstrated in the example following item 3.

2. Configure clock and time zone accordingly.

3. Hidden trick: The NTP master must be configured on R3 and R7 for Switch1 redundancy. Configure Virtual IP as the NTP server on Switch1:

   <snip from R7>
   ntp authentication-key 1 md5 02050D480809 7
   ntp master
   end
