Figure 24-10 Network diagram for NTP multicast mode configuration
Configuration procedure
1) Configuration on Switch C:
# Configure Switch C to work in the multicast server mode and send multicast messages through
VLAN-interface 2.
<SwitchC> system-view
[SwitchC] interface vlan-interface 2
[SwitchC-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service multicast-server
2) Configuration on Switch D:
# Configure Switch D to work in the multicast client mode and receive multicast messages on
VLAN-interface 2.
<SwitchD> system-view
[SwitchD] interface vlan-interface 2
[SwitchD-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service multicast-client
Because Switch D and Switch C are on the same subnet, Switch D can receive the multicast
messages from Switch C without being enabled with the multicast functions and can be synchronized
to Switch C.
# View the NTP status of Switch D after clock synchronization.
[SwitchD-Vlan-interface2] display ntp-service status
