z
The local clock of AC 2 is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level of 3.
z
AC 2 works in the broadcast server mode and sends out broadcast messages from VLAN-interface
2.
z
AC 3 works in the broadcast client mode and receives broadcast messages through
VLAN-interface 2.
z
NTP authentication is enabled on both AC 2 and AC 3.
