Hi,

As I understand it (read in one of the many Cisco Press books..) with NTP the server will provide time to both authenticated and unauthenticated clients.

Its the clients decision to authenticate or not.

On a side note, what is the TimeZone now for Brussels? I assume if doing a lab there we will need to know.. would it be CEST?

so the command to set-it would be..

R1#sh run | inc clock
clock timezone CEST 1
clock summer-time CEST recurring

R1#sh clock detail
15:27:20.553 CEST Sun Jun 29 2008
Time source is NTP
Summer time starts 02:00:00 CEST Sun Mar 9 2008
Summer time ends 02:00:00 CEST Sun Nov 2 2008

Richard.
