# Display the NTP status of Switch A after clock synchronization.
[SwitchA-Vlan-interface3] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 3
System peer: 3.0.1.31
Local mode: bclient
Reference clock ID: 3.0.1.31
Leap indicator: 00
Clock jitter: 0.165741 s
Stability: 0.000 pps

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

IPv6 NTP multicast mode configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 15, Switch C functions as the NTP server for multiple devices on different network
segments and synchronizes the time among multiple devices.
• Switch C's local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level 2.
• Switch C operates in IPv6 multicast server mode and sends out IPv6 multicast messages from
VLAN-interface 2.
• Switch A and Switch D operate in IPv6 multicast client mode and receive IPv6 multicast messages
through VLAN-interface 3 and VLAN-interface 2, respectively.
