Configuring the NTP Symmetric Mode
Network requirements
z
The local clock of Switch is to be configured as a reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
z
AC 1 works in the client mode and Switch is to be used as the NTP server of AC 1.
z
AC 2 works in the symmetric-active mode and AC 1 will act as peer of AC 2. AC 2 is the
symmetric-active peer while AC 1 is the symmetric-passive peer.
