Let's go with the basic.  

 

First, 192.168.10.254, is this a synchronized NTP/SNTP source?  

Next, NTP version 2, would it make a difference?

HI 

 

My switch ip is 192.168.10.254  i need to make that as my ntp server  for all my network devices 

 

Please can you give the configuration 

Hello

 

Is that device setup as a ntp master?

example:

NTP Master:

conf t
ntp master 12
ntp master
ntp max-associations xx
clock update-calendar
clock read-calendar

ntp authenticate
ntp authentication-key 931 md5 ntppassword
ntp trusted-key 931

 

NTP clients
--------------

conf t
ntp peer
ntp server 192.168.10.254 prefer

ntp authenticate
ntp authentication-key 931 md5 ntppassword
ntp trusted-key 931

You're still not answering the question:  Is the appliance, with IP Address 192.168.0.254, synchronized with a valid SNTP/NTP address or not. 

 

If the answer is no, then NTP to the downstream device will be "quasi" or not-really-trusted.  

Hi leo 

 

I need to make the switch 192.168.10.254  as ntp server 

You are still not answering the question.  

 

Is the appliance, with IP Address 192.168.10.254, synchronized with a valid SNTP/NTP address or not. 

 

Even if you enable NTP Master (which I personally don't recommend) and your appliance is NOT synchronized to a valid NTP source, then the appliance 192.168.10.254 can potentially broadcast the WRONG time to all the appliance.  Since you've forced all downstream appliances to synchronize with a source that has the wrong NTP data (using the command "ntp master") all your network equipment will be sporting the wrong time.
