The output information indicates that Device D is synchronized to Device C, with the
clock stratum level of 3, one level lower than that of Device C.
# View the information about the NTP sessions of Device D and you can see that a
connection is established between Device D and Device C.

1.8.4 Configuring NTP Multicast Mode
I. Network requirements
z The local clock of Device C is set as the NTP master clock, with a clock stratum
level of 2. Configure Device C to work in the NTP multicast server mode and
advertise multicast NTP messages through Vlan-interface2.
z Device A and Device D are two S3100 Ethernet switches. Configure Device A and
Device D to work in the NTP multicast client mode and listen to multicast
messages through their own Vlan-interface2.
