Interaction of PTP and SNTP
19
In the example, the left Switch, as an SNTP client, gets the time from the
NTP server via SNTP. The Switch assigns clock stratum "2" to the time
received from an NTP server. Thus the left Switch becomes the reference
clock for the PTP synchronization. PTP is active for all three Switch, thus
providing precise time synchronization between them. As the connectable
terminal devices in the example only support SNTP, all three Switches act
as SNTP servers.
