Because AC A and AC B are on different subnets, AC A cannot receive the broadcast messages from
AC B and AC C gets synchronized upon receiving a broadcast message from AC B.

z
AC C’s local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
z
AC C works in the multicast server mode and sends out multicast messages from VLAN-interface
2.
z
AC D and AC A work in the multicast client mode. AC A receives multicast messages through
VLAN-interface 3, while AC D receives multicast messages through VLAN-interface 2.
