For R1 (2620), R2 (2620),and SW1 (3560), with R3 as their server.

ntp server 150.1.3.3

For R4(3640), R5(3640), and SW4(3550), with R6 as their server.

ntp clock-period 17179866
ntp server 150.1.6.6
!

The clock-period number is slightly different. This was part of the config
was not populated by me.

And it works fine if R3 and R6 are not authenticating. I have full
reachability and no ACL's. But once I authenticate from R3, R1, R2 and SW1
stop syncing. (not problems from R6 group once R6 authenticates)

It's very strange. What makes it more puzzling is I lost points on a Mock
Lab for the the same scenario. I was missing the "ntp server <server> key 1
field, but now, even with it in, it's broke...

I'm puzzled...
