Configuration procedure
1) Configuration on Device A:
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 2.
<DeviceA> system-view
[DeviceA] ntp-service refclock-master 2
2) Configuration on Device B:
# View the NTP status of Device B before clock synchronization.
<DeviceB> display ntp-service status
Clock status: unsynchronized
Clock stratum: 16
Reference clock ID: none
Nominal frequency: 100.0000 Hz
Actual frequency: 100.0000 Hz
Clock precision: 2^18
Clock offset: 0.0000 ms
Root delay: 0.00 ms
Root dispersion: 0.00 ms
Peer dispersion: 0.00 ms
Reference time: 00:00:00.000 UTC Jan 1 1900 (00000000.00000000)
# Specify Device A as the NTP server of Device B so that Device B is synchronized to Device A.
<DeviceB> system-view
[DeviceB] ntp-service unicast-server 1.0.1.11
# View the NTP status of Device B after clock synchronization.
[DeviceB] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 3
Reference clock ID: 1.0.1.11
Nominal frequency: 100.0000 Hz
Actual frequency: 100.0000 Hz
Clock precision: 2^18
Clock offset: 0.0000 ms
Root delay: 31.00 ms
Root dispersion: 1.05 ms
Peer dispersion: 7.81 ms
Reference time: 14:53:27.371 UTC Sep 19 2005 (C6D94F67.5EF9DB22)
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.
# View the NTP session information of Device B, which shows that an association has been set up
between Device B and Device A.
