Hello folks

I'm confused about NTP authentication.
In accord with following web site, In the side of NTP master
authentification configuration is like below.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk869/tk769/technologies_white_paper09186a00
80117070.shtml

########################################################
ntp master 3

!--- When the system sends an NTP packet, the
!--- source IP address is normally set to the
!--- address of the interface through which the
!--- NTP packet is sent.
!--- Change this to use loopback0.

ntp source Loopback0

!--- Enables NTP authentication.

ntp authenticate
ntp authentication-key 1234 md5 104D000A0618 7
ntp trusted-key 1234
 
########################################################

But in IEWB-RS following website, the configuration is such as below.
http://www.internetworkexpert.com/resources/ntp-authentication.htm

########################################################

R1#clock set 00:00:00 1 Jan 2000
R1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R1(config)#ntp master 1
R1(config)#ntp authentication-key 1 md5 CISCO

########################################################

Which one is correct ???

TIA

Michy
