Configuring NTP Client/Server Mode
Network requirements
Perform the following configurations to synchronize the time between Device B and Device A:
• As shown in Figure 7 , the local clock of Device A is to be used as a reference source, with the
stratum level of 2.
• Device B works in client/server mode and Device A is to be used as the NTP server of Device B.

Configuration procedure
Step1 Set the IP address for each interface as shown in Figure 7 . The configuration procedure is omitted.
Step2 Configuration on Device A:
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
system-view
[DeviceA] ntp-service refclock-master 2
Step3 Configuration on Device B:
# View the NTP status of Device B before clock synchronization.
