Configuring Ntp Multicast Mode - H3C S5600 SERIES Operation Manual

# Set Device A as a broadcast client.
[DeviceA] interface Vlan-interface 2
[DeviceA-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service broadcast-client
After the above configurations, Device A and Device D will listen to broadcast messages through their
own VLAN-interface 2, and Device C will send broadcast messages through VLAN-interface 2.
Because Device A and Device C do not share the same network segment, Device A cannot receive
broadcast messages from Device C, while Device D is synchronized to Device C after receiving
broadcast messages from Device C.
View the NTP status of Device D after the clock synchronization.

The output information indicates that Device D is synchronized to Device C, with the clock stratum level
of 3, one level lower than that of Device C.

Configuring NTP Multicast Mode

Network requirements
The local clock of Device C is set as the NTP master clock, with a clock stratum level of 2.
Configure Device C to work in the NTP multicast server mode and advertise multicast NTP
messages through VLAN-interface 2.
Device A and Device D are two S5600 Ethernet switches. Configure Device A and Device D to
work in the NTP multicast client mode and listen to multicast messages through their own
VLAN-interface 2.
