Overview

You can configure NTP to use shared private keys between ONTAP and trusted external NTP time servers.

You acquire the keys from the external NTP time servers and individual entries created for each unique key. You can use the /cluster/ntp/servers API to associate a key with an external NTP time server used by ONTAP and enable authentication.

Fields used for adding an NTP shared key

The required fields are:

  • id

  • digest_type

  • secret_key

Example

# Body
create_ntp_key.txt(body):
{
"id": 10,
"digest_type": "sha1",
"value": "da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709"
}

# Request
curl -X POST "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/cluster/ntp/keys" -d "@create_ntp_key.txt"
