NTP broadcast mode configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 12 , Switch C functions as the NTP server for multiple devices on a network segment
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 broadcast server mode and sends out broadcast messages from
VLAN-interface 2.
• Switch A and Switch B operate in broadcast client mode, and listen to broadcast messages through
VLAN-interface 2.
