Configuring NTP broadcast mode with authentication

Network requirements

As shown in

Figure 30

, Router C functions as the NTP server for multiple routers on different network

segments 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 3.

Router C works in the broadcast server mode and sends out broadcast messages from
GigabitEthernet 3/1/10.

Router D works in the broadcast client mode and receives broadcast client through GigabitEthernet
3/1/10.

NTP authentication is enabled on both Router C and Router D.
