Configuring NTP
Broadcast Mode
Network requirements
■ 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-interface2.
■ Device A and Device D are two Switch 4210s. Configure Device A and Device D
to work in the NTP broadcast client mode and listen to broadcast messages
through their own Vlan-interface2.
