Synopsis

Manages NTP authentication configuration on HUAWEI CloudEngine switches.

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.
key_id - / required		Authentication key identifier (numeric).
state -	Choices: present ← absent	Manage the state of the resource.
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.
Recommended connection is network_cli.
This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
