NTP client/server mode configuration example

Network requirements
Perform the following configurations to synchronize the time between Device B and Device A:
As shown in
•
stratum level 2.
• Device B operates in client/server mode and Device A is to be used as the NTP server of Device B.
Figure 17 Network diagram
Configuration procedure
1. Set the IP address for each interface as shown in
2. Configure Device A:
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level 2.
<DeviceA> system-view
[DeviceA] ntp-service refclock-master 2
3. Configure Device B:
# Display the NTP status of Device B before clock synchronization.
<DeviceB> display ntp-service status
Clock status: unsynchronized
Clock stratum: 16
Reference clock ID: none
Nominal frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Actual frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Clock precision: 2^7
Clock offset: 0.0000 ms
Root delay: 0.00 ms
Root dispersion: 0.00 ms
Peer dispersion: 0.00 ms
Reference time: 00:00:00.000 UTC Jan 1 1900 (00000000.00000000)
# Specify Device A as the NTP server of Device B so that Device B synchronizes to Device A.
<DeviceB> system-view
[DeviceB] ntp-service unicast-server 1.0.1.11
# Display the NTP status of Device B after clock synchronization.
[DeviceB] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 3
Reference clock ID: 1.0.1.11
Nominal frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Actual frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Figure 17, the local clock of Device A is to be used as a reference source, with the
