Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth_mode	Choices: hmac-sha256 md5	Specify authentication algorithm.
auth_pwd		Plain text with length of 1 to 255, encrypted text with length of 20 to 392.
auth_type	Choices: text encrypt ←	Whether the given password is in cleartext or has been encrypted. If in cleartext, the device will encrypt it before storing it.
authentication	Choices: enable disable	Configure ntp authentication enable or unconfigure ntp authentication enable.

trusted_key	Choices: enable disable ←	Whether the given key is required to be supplied by a time source for the device to synchronize to the time source.

Notes

Note

• If state=absent, the module will attempt to remove the given key configuration. If a matching key configuration isn’t found on the device, the module will fail.
• If state=absent and authentication=on, authentication will be turned on.
• If state=absent and authentication=off, authentication will be turned off.
