Configuring the NTP symmetric mode

Network requirements
Perform the following configurations to synchronize time among devices:
• The local clock of Device A is to be configured as a reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
Device B works in the client mode and Device A is to be used as the NTP server of Device B.
