The output shows that Device B has been synchronized to Device A, the clock stratum level of
Device B is 3, and that of Device A is 2.

Network requirements
As shown in Figure 11, Device C has a clock more accurate than Device A.
• Set the local clock of Device A as a reference source, with the stratum level 3.
• Set the local clock Device C as a reference source, with the stratum level 2.
• Configure Device B to operate in client mode and specify Device A as the NTP server of Device B.
• Configure Device C to operate in symmetric-active mode and specify Device B as the passive peer
of Device C.

Configuration procedure
1. Set the IP address for each interface as shown in Figure 11. (Details not shown.)
2. Configure Device A:
