Configuration on S3100 series switches
Server/client mode
Configure the local S3100 Ethernet switch to work in the
NTP client mode. In this mode, the remote server serves
as the local time server, while the local switch serves as
the client.
Symmetric peer mode
Configure the local S3100 switch to work in NTP
symmetric peer mode. In this mode, the remote server
serves as the symmetric-passive peer of the S3100
switch, and the local switch serves as the
symmetric-active peer.
