2)
Configure Device A (perform the same configuration on Device D).
# Enter system view.
<DeviceA> system-view
# Set Device A as a multicast client to listen to multicast messages through
VLAN-interface 2.
[DeviceA] interface Vlan-interface 2
[DeviceA-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service multicast-client
After the above configurations, Device A and Device D respectively listen to multicast
messages through their own VLAN-interface 2, and Device C advertises multicast
messages through VLAN-interface 2. Because Device A and Device C do not share the
same network segment, Device A cannot receive multicast messages from Device C,
while Device D is synchronized to Device C after receiving multicast messages from
Device C.

[DeviceD] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 3
Reference clock ID: 3.0.1.31
Nominal frequency: 100.0000 Hz
Actual frequency: 100.0000 Hz
Clock precision: 2^18
Clock offset: 198.7425 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 Device D is synchronized to Device C, with a
clock stratum level of 3, one stratum level lower than that Device C.
