Configuring NTP Symmetric Peer Mode 
Network requirements 
z  The local clock of Device A is set as the NTP master clock, with the clock stratum level of 2. 
z  Device C (an Switch 4210) uses Device A as the NTP server, and Device A works in server mode 
automatically.  
z  The local clock of Device B is set as the NTP master clock, with the clock stratum level of 1. Set 
Device C as the peer of Device B.

Configuration procedure 
1)  Configure Device C. 
# Set Device A as the NTP server. 
<DeviceC> system-view 
[DeviceC] ntp-service unicast-server 3.0.1.31 
2)  Configure Device B (after the Device C is synchronized to Device A). 
# Enter system view. 
<DeviceB> system-view 
# Set Device C as the peer of Device B. 
[DeviceB] ntp-service unicast-peer 3.0.1.33 
Device C and Device B are symmetric peers after the above configuration. Device B works in symmetric 
active mode, while Device C works in symmetric passive mode. Because the stratum level of the local 
clock of Device B is 1, and that of Device C is 3, the clock of Device C is synchronized to that of Device 
B.
