Mushtaq,
 
CMIIW,
 
I think the correct NTP authentication configuration is like this :

at NTP client :
 
ntp authenticate
ntp authentication-key 1 md5 groupstudy
ntp trusted-key 1
ntp server 172.16.1.1 key 1
 
at NTP master :
 
ntp authentication-key 1 md5 groupstudy
ntp master
 
NTP authentication is used to authenticate the time source, not the recipient...
and also NTP synchronization will synchronize gradually not instaneously
 
Rgds,
Thomwin

All,

Can anyone help in troubleshooting NTP synchronization? I'm trying to
test NTP to see if NTP client synchronizes correctly with NTP server.

I noticed that it works only when I try to change clock in client.
The client correctly synchornizes with server. It does not work, when
I change clock in Server. Can someone explain me the reason. Here is
the configuration I'm used:

Router(NTP Server):
clock timezone CST -6
clock summer-time CDT recurring

ntp authentication-key 1 md5 01100F175804 7
ntp authenticate
ntp trusted-key 1
ntp source Loopback0
ntp master 3

SW(NTP Client):
clock timezone EST -5
clock summer-time EDT recurring
ntp authentication-key 1 md5 05080F1C2243 7
ntp authenticate
ntp trusted-key 1
ntp clock-period 17179903
ntp source Loopback0
ntp server 132.1.4.4

Thanks,
M. A. Khan
