Can someone please explain what the trusted key is for? It seems like
a redundant command:

Server:
R1(config)#ntp master 1
R1(config)#ntp authentication-key 1 md5 CISCO

Client:
R2(config)#ntp authenticate <-- enables authentication of the server
R2(config)#ntp authentication-key 1 md5 CISCO <-- Defines a key
R2(config)#ntp trusted-key 1 <-- What the hell does this do?
R2(config)#ntp server 12.0.0.1 key 1 <-- Binds the key to the server

Thanks,
Greg
