Configuring NTP Broadcast Mode 
Network requirements 
z  The local clock of Device C is set as the NTP master clock, with a stratum level of 2. Configure 
Device C to work in the NTP broadcast server mode and send NTP broadcast messages through 
VLAN-interface 2. 
z  Device A and Device D are two S4200G Ethernet switches. Configure Device A and Device D to 
work in the NTP broadcast client mode and listen to broadcast messages through their own 
VLAN-interface 2.
