Configuring NTP broadcast mode
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 25, Switch C functions as the NTP server for multiple devices on a network segment
and synchronizes the time among multiple devices as follows:
• Switch C’s local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
• Switch C works in broadcast server mode and sends out broadcast messages from VLAN-interface
2.
• Switch A and Switch B work in broadcast client mode, and each listen to broadcast messages
through their VLAN-interface 2.
