Figure 1-12 Network diagram for configuration of NTP broadcast mode with authentication
Configuration procedure
1) Configuration on Switch C:
# Configure NTP authentication.
<SwitchC> system-view
[SwitchC] ntp-service authentication enable
[SwitchC] ntp-service authentication-keyid 88 authentication-mode md5 123456
[SwitchC] ntp-service reliable authentication-keyid 88
# Specify Switch C as an NTP broadcast server, and specify an authentication key.
[SwitchC] interface vlan-interface 2
[SwitchC-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service broadcast-server authentication-keyid 88
2) Configuration on Switch D:
# Configure NTP authentication.
<SwitchD> system-view
[SwitchD] ntp-service authentication enable
[SwitchD] ntp-service authentication-keyid 88 authentication-mode md5 123456
[SwitchD] ntp-service reliable authentication-keyid 88
# Configure Switch D to work in the NTP broadcast client mode.
[SwitchD] interface vlan-interface 2
[SwitchD-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service broadcast-client
Now, Switch D can receive broadcast messages through VLAN-interface 2, and Switch C can send
broadcast messages through VLAN-interface 2. Upon receiving a broadcast message from Switch C,
Switch D synchronizes its clock to that of Switch C.
# View the NTP status of Switch D after clock synchronization.
[SwitchD-Vlan-interface2] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 4
Reference clock ID: 3.0.1.31
Nominal frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Actual frequency: 64.0000 Hz
