Synopsis
- This module provides configuration management of NTP for devices running SONiC. 
Parameters
| Parameter | Comments | 
|---|---|
| Specifies NTP related configurations. | |
| Enable or disable NTP authentication. Choices: 
 | |
| List of NTP authentication keys. | |
| NTP authentication key_value is encrypted. encrypted can not be deleted. When “state” is “merged”, “encrypted” is required. Choices: 
 | |
| NTP authentication key identifier. | |
| NTP authentication key type. key_type can not be deleted. When “state” is “merged”, “key_type” is required. Choices: 
 | |
| NTP authentication key value. key_value can not be deleted. When “state” is “merged”, “key_value” is required. | |
| List of NTP servers. minpoll and maxpoll are required to be configured together. | |
| IPv4/IPv6 address or host name of NTP server. | |
| NTP authentication key used by server. Key_id can not be deleted. | |
| Maximum poll interval to poll NTP server. maxpoll can not be deleted. | |
| Minimum poll interval to poll NTP server. minpoll can not be deleted. | |
| Indicates whether this server should be preferred. prefer can not be deleted. Choices: 
 | |
| List of names of NTP source interfaces. | |
| List of trusted NTP authentication keys. | |
