STEP 4 In the SNTP Authentication Table, click Add to add a key to the list.

STEP 5 Enter the parameters:

Authentication Key ID—The key number. When you define an SNTP server on the system, you specify which key it uses for authentication.

Authentication Key—The value of the key. The value is the cryptographic key that is used to encrypt and decrypt SNTP messages to and from the server.

Trusted Key—Indicates whether this key is a trusted key. Only trusted keys are available for use. At least one trusted key must be configured to enable the SNTP authentication service.

Keys are used with unicast SNTP servers only. A key is used to authenticate an SNTP server only when the key is enabled as trusted. A keys that is configured on the switch but specified as untrusted will not be used. An administrator can add an untrusted key to have it available for use at another time.

STEP 6 Click Apply and then click Close. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

System Logs

The switch generates messages in response to events, faults, errors, changes in the configuration, and other occurrences. These messages are stored locally in the system memory and are forwarded to one or more centralized points of collection for monitoring or long-term archiving.

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
