Description: Enable or disable the MD5 Authentication on this serve.
What is rcNtpServerAuthentication?
This field enables or disables MD5 authentication for time updates from this specific NTP server. Admins enable this for added security, ensuring the device only accepts time updates cryptographically signed by the trusted server. For example, setting rcNtpServerAuthentication to true(1) requires that server's NTP responses be validated with the configured key before the device accepts them.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.33.2.1.3 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RC-NTP-MIB::rcNtpServerAuthentication
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.33.2.1.3.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RC-NTP-MIB::rcNtpServerAuthentication.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.33.2.1.3.1 s <value>
