As shown above, Device B has been synchronized to Device A, and the clock stratum level of Device B
is 3, while that of Device A is 2.

Configuring the NTP Symmetric Mode
Network requirements
Perform the following configurations to synchronize time among devices:
• As shown in Figure 8 , the local clock of Device A is to be configured as a reference source, with the
stratum level of 2.
• Device B works in client mode and Device A is to be used as the NTP server of Device B.
• Device C works in symmetric-active mode and Device B acts as the peer of Device C.

Configuration procedure
Step1 Set the IP address for each interface as shown in Figure 8 . The configuration procedure is omitted.
Step2 Configuration on Device A:
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
