Configuring the NTP
Symmetric Mode
Network requirements
■ The local clock of Switch A is to be configured as a reference source, with the
stratum level of 2.
■ Switch B works in the client mode and Switch A is to be used as the NTP server
of Switch B.
■ Switch C works in the symmetric-active mode and Switch B will act as peer of
Switch C. Switch C is the symmetric-active peer while Switch B is the
symmetric-passive peer.
