Configure NTP clock synchronization.

Configure NTP:
device#configure terminal
device(config)# ntp
device(config-ntp)#server 216.239.35.8 (example IP)
device(config-ntp)# write memory

Configure NTP with authentication:
device#configure terminal
device(config)# ntp
device(config-ntp)#server 216.239.35.8 (example IP)
device(config-ntp)#authentication-key key-id 1234 sha1 testntpsession
device(config-ntp)# write memory
