Configuring NTP broadcast mode
Network requirements
As shown in
, Switch B functions as the NTP server for multiple devices on a network segment
and synchronizes the time among multiple devices. More specifically:
•
Switch B's local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level 2.
•
Switch B operates in broadcast server mode and sends out broadcast messages from
VLAN-interface 2.
•
AP 1 and AP 2 operate in broadcast client mode, and listen to broadcast messages through
VLAN-interface 3 and VLAN-interface 2 respectively.
