Don't forget about commands like

Access-list 1 permit 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255
Access-list 2 permit 128.105.39.11

Ntp access-group peer 2
Ntp access-group serve 1

That's from page 752 of doyle vol 2

Sample from Page 753

seattle
Ntp authenticate
Ntp authentication-key 10 md5 ntpkey

---------------------------------
tacoma
ntp authenticate
ntp authentication-key 10 md5 ntpkey
ntp trusted-key 10
ntp server seattle key 10

I just got done studying NTP and my experience is the following

NTP master --- Acts as a clock source. I don't believe the NTP process
on a
router that has this set will process received NTP packets.

NTP Client (set with NTP peer) --- Sends unicast requests to another
router's NTP process. I don't believe that it makes a difference how
that
router is configured as long as it has an NTP process and it is
synchronized
to a higher authority. The NTP Client requests NTP packets from other
routers. It processes all received NTP packets favoring the one with the
"prefer" parameter. If the prefer parameter is not set or that peer is
not
available, it favors the response with the highest stratum. (In all
cases
the "peer" providing the NTP packet must be synchronized to be
considered.)
Soooo -- I believe an NTP Client can get NTP packets from another NTP
Client, and NTP Server, an NTP Master, NTP Broadcast Server or an NTP
Broadcast Client.

NTP Server ---- As far as I can tell, used to solicit a clock from an
external clock source. It RECEIVES and processes data from the server
specified in the "ntp server" statement.

NTP Broadcast Server -- Set on an interface connected to a broadcast
media
(ethernet, frame relay, token ring, etc.) -- Sends NTP data out the
broadcast media to 255.255.255.255.

NTP Broadcast Clients -- Set on an Interface, NTP Broadcast Clients
passively listen for NTP packets sent to the 255.255.255.255 destination
address. The do not -- should not -- send out NTP packets.

Option #2 I meant that if R1 is configured as such it will be able to
receive time not give it to 5.5.5.1. Sorry about that.

I need to get in the lab tonight and nail this down I have only touched
on it. Please correct me if I am wrong. This is what I understand.

A router configured as such:

R1
!
ntp peer 5.5.5.1 <-- Means that R1 can give and receive time from
5.5.5.1.
!
#########

A router configured as such:

R1
!
ntp server 5.5.5.1 <-- Means that R1 can give, but not receive time from

5.5.5.1
!

##########

A router configured as such:

R1
!
ntp master <-- Any router setup with a peer or server statement
pointing to this R1 can get time from it.
