H3C S3100V2-52TP - Configuring NTP Broadcast Mode with Authentication

[DeviceB] ntp-service unicast-server 1.0.1.11 authentication-keyid 42
Before Device B can synchronize its clock to that of Device A, enable NTP authentication for Device A.
Perform the following configuration on Device A:
# Enable NTP authentication.
[DeviceA] ntp-service authentication enable
# Set an authentication key.
[DeviceA] ntp-service authentication-keyid 42 authentication-mode md5 aNiceKey
# Specify the key as a trusted key.
[DeviceA] ntp-service reliable authentication-keyid 42
# View the NTP status of Device B after clock synchronization.
[DeviceB] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 3
Reference clock ID: 1.0.1.11
Nominal frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Actual frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Clock precision: 2^7
Clock offset: 0.0000 ms
Root delay: 31.00 ms
Root dispersion: 1.05 ms
Peer dispersion: 7.81 ms
Reference time: 14:53:27.371 UTC Sep 19 2005 (C6D94F67.5EF9DB22)
As shown above, Device B has been synchronized to Device A, and the clock stratum level of Device B
is 3, while that of Device A is 2.
# View the NTP session information of Device B, which shows that an association has been set up Device
B and Device A.

Configuring NTP broadcast mode with authentication
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 16, Device C functions as the NTP server for multiple devices on different network
segments and synchronizes the time among multiple devices. Device B authentications the reference
source.
• Device C’s local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level of 3.
• Device C works in broadcast server mode and sends out broadcast messages from VLAN-interface
2.
• Device A and Device B work in broadcast client mode and receives broadcast messages through
VLAN-interface 2.
• NTP authentication is enabled on both Device B and Device C.
