Configuration procedure
1) Configuration on AC C:
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
<AC C> system-view
[AC C] ntp-service refclock-master 2
# Configure AC C to work in the multicast server mode and send multicast messages through
VLAN-interface 2.
[AC C] interface vlan-interface 2
[AC C-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service multicast-server
2) Configuration on AC D:
# Configure AC D to work in the multicast client mode and receive multicast messages on
VLAN-interface 2.
<AC D> system-view
[AC D] interface vlan-interface 2
[AC D-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service multicast-client
Because AC D and AC C are on the same subnet, AC D can receive the multicast messages from AC C
without being IGMP-enabled and can be synchronized to AC C.
# View the NTP status of AC D after clock synchronization.
