Configuring MPLS VPN time synchronization in client/server
mode example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 31, two VPNs are present on PE 1 and PE 2: VPN 1 and VPN 2. CE 1 and CE 3 are
devices in VPN 1. To synchronize the time between CE 1 and CE 3 in VPN 1, perform the following
configurations:
• CE 1’s local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level of 1.
• CE 3 is synchronized to CE 1 in the client/server mode.
NOTE:
MPLS VPN time synchronization can only be implemented in the unicast mode (client/server mode or
symmetric peers mode), but not in the multicast or broadcast mode.
