# Enter system view.

# Set Device C as the peer of Device B.
[DeviceB] ntp-service unicast-peer 3.0.1.33
Device C and Device B are symmetric peers after the above configuration. Device B
works in symmetric active mode, while Device C works in symmetric passive mode.
Because the stratum level of the local clock of Device B is 1, and that of Device C is 3,
the clock of Device C is synchronized to that of Device B.
View the status of Device C after the clock synchronization.

Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 2
Reference clock ID: 3.0.1.32
Nominal frequency: 100.0000 Hz
Actual frequency: 100.0000 Hz
Clock precision: 2^18
Clock offset: 0.66 ms
Root delay: 27.47 ms
Root dispersion: 208.39 ms
Peer dispersion: 9.63 ms
Reference time: 17:03:32.022 UTC Apr 2 2007 (BF422AE4.05AEA86C)
The output information indicates that the clock of Device C is synchronized to that of
Device B and the stratum level of its local clock is 2, one level lower than Device B.

1.8.3 Configuring NTP Broadcast Mode
I. Network requirements
z
The local clock of Device C is set as the NTP master clock, with a stratum level of
2. Configure Device C to work in the NTP broadcast server mode and send NTP
broadcast messages through Vlan-interface2.
