Ntp Symmetric Active/Passive Mode Configuration Example - HPE FlexNetwork 5510 HI Series Network Management And Monitoring Configuration Manual

NTP symmetric active/passive mode configuration example

Network requirements
As shown in
•
Configure the local clock of Device A as a reference source, with the stratum level 2.
•
Configure Device A to operate in symmetric-active mode and specify Device B as the passive
peer of Device A.

Device A
Configuration procedure
1. Set the IP address for each interface, and make sure Device A and Device B can reach each
other, as shown in
2. Configure Device B:
# Enable the NTP service.
<DeviceB> system-view
[DeviceB] ntp-service enable
3. Configure Device A:
# Enable the NTP service.
<DeviceA> system-view
[DeviceA] ntp-service enable
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level 2.
[DeviceA] ntp-service refclock-master 2
# Configure Device B as a symmetric passive peer.
[DeviceA] ntp-service unicast-peer 3.0.1.32
4. Verify the configuration:
# Verify that Device B has synchronized to Device A.
[DeviceB] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
