Configuring NTP Multicast Mode

Network requirements
Switch C's local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
Switch C works in the multicast server mode and sends out multicast messages from
VLAN-interface 2.
Switch A and Switch D work in the multicast client mode and receive multicast messages through
VLAN-interface 3 and VLAN-interface 2 respectively.
