Network requirements
The local clock of Device C is set as the NTP master clock, with a clock stratum level of 2.
Configure Device C to work in the NTP multicast server mode and advertise multicast NTP
messages through VLAN-interface 2.
Device A and Device D are two S4500 Ethernet switches. Configure Device A and Device D to
work in the NTP multicast client mode and listen to multicast messages through their own
VLAN-interface 2.
