III. 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:
# Specify Device A as the NTP server of Device B.
<DeviceB> system-view
[DeviceB] ntp-service unicast-server 3.0.1.31
3)
Configuration on Device C (after Device B is synchronized to Device A):
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 1.
<DeviceC> system-view
[DeviceC] ntp-service refclock-master 1
# Configure Device B as a symmetric peer after local synchronization.
[DeviceC] ntp-service unicast-peer 3.0.1.32
In the step above, Device B and Device C are configured as symmetric peers, with
Device C in the symmetric-active mode and Device B in the symmetric-passive mode.
Because the stratus level of Device C is 1 while that of Device B is 3, Device B is
synchronized to Device C.
# View the NTP status of Device B after clock synchronization.
[DeviceB] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 2
Reference clock ID: 3.0.1.33
