Configuration procedure
1) Configuration on AC 2:
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 3.
<AC2> system-view
[AC2] ntp-service refclock-master 3
# Configure NTP authentication.
[AC2] ntp-service authentication enable
[AC2] ntp-service authentication-keyid 88 authentication-mode md5 123456
[AC2] ntp-service reliable authentication-keyid 88
# Specify AC 2 as an NTP broadcast server, and specify an authentication key.
[AC2] interface vlan-interface 2
[AC2-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service broadcast-server authentication-keyid 88
2) Configuration on AC 3:
# Configure NTP authentication.
<AC3> system-view
[AC3] ntp-service authentication enable
[AC3] ntp-service authentication-keyid 88 authentication-mode md5 123456
[AC3] ntp-service reliable authentication-keyid 88
# Configure AC 3 to work in the NTP broadcast client mode.
[AC3] interface vlan-interface 2
[AC3-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service broadcast-client
Now, AC 3 can receive broadcast messages through VLAN-interface 2, and AC 2 can send broadcast
messages through VLAN-interface 2. Upon receiving a broadcast message from AC 2, AC 3
synchronizes its clock to that of AC 2.
# View the NTP status of AC 3 after clock synchronization.
[AC3-Vlan-interface2] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 4
Reference clock ID: 3.0.1.31
Nominal frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Actual frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Clock precision: 2^7
Clock offset: 0.0000 ms
Root delay: 31.00 ms
Root dispersion: 8.31 ms
Peer dispersion: 34.30 ms
Reference time: 16:01:51.713 UTC Sep 19 2005 (C6D95F6F.B6872B02)
As shown above, AC 3 has been synchronized to AC 2, and the clock stratum level of AC 3 is 4, while
that of AC 2 is 3.
# View the NTP session information of AC 3, which shows that an association has been set up between
AC 3 and AC 2.
