After the above configurations, SW4500-1 and SW4500-2 will listen to broadcast
packets through their own Vlan-interface2, and Switch3 will send broadcast
packets through Vlan-interface2. Because SW4500-2 and Switch3 do not share
the same network segment, SW4500-2 cannot receive broadcast packets from
Switch3, while SW4500-1 is synchronized to Switch3 after receiving broadcast
packets from Switch3.

The output information indicates that SW4500-1 is synchronized to Switch3, with
the clock stratum level of 3, one level lower than that of Switch3.

Network requirements
The local clock of Switch3 is set to the NTP master clock, with a clock stratum level
of 2. Switch3 advertises multicast packets through Vlan-interface2.
SW4500-1 and SW4500-2 respectively listen to multicast packets through their
own Vlan-interface2.
This example assumes that Switch3 is a switch that supports the local clock being
the master clock.
