1.2 NTP Implementation Mode Configuration

A switch can operate in the following NTP modes:
NTP client mode
NTP server mode
NTP peer mode
NTP broadcast server mode
NTP broadcast client mode
NTP multicast server mode
NTP multicast client mode
1.2.1 Prerequisites
When an S5600 switch operates in NTP server mode or NTP peer mode, you need to

operates in NTP broadcast mode or NTP multicast mode, you need to perform
configurations on both the server side and the client side.
