Drag items

Set the IP address of the NTP server and the public key.Enable NTP authentication.Configure an authentication key pair for NTP and specify whether the key will be trusted or untrusted.Enable NTP client mode.

Correct arrangement

Configure an authentication key pair for NTP and specify whether the key will be trusted or untrusted.
Set the IP address of the NTP server and the public key.
Enable NTP client mode.
Enable NTP authentication.

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps each definition to its corresponding NTP configuration command in logical order: 'ntp authentication-key' configures the key pair and trust status, 'ntp server' sets the server IP and associates the public key, 'ntp client' enables client mode, and 'ntp authenticate' globally enables NTP authentication. This sequence reflects the proper Cisco IOS NTP authentication configuration workflow, where keys must be defined before being referenced and authentication must be explicitly enabled as a final step.
