Configuring NTP broadcast mode
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 27 , Router C functions as the NTP server for multiple routers on a network segment
and synchronizes the time among multiple routers. More specifically:
• Router C’s local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
• Router C works in the broadcast server mode and sends out broadcast messages from
GigabitEthernet 3/1/10.
• Router D and Router A work in the broadcast client mode and receive broadcast messages through
their respective GigabitEthernet 3/1/10.

Configuration procedure
1. Set the IP address for each interface as shown in Figure 27 . (Details not shown)
2. Configure Router C:
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
