The above output information indicates that Device B is synchronized to Device A, and
the stratum level of its clock is 3, one level lower than that of Device A.

1.8.2 Configuring NTP Symmetric Peer Mode
I. Network requirements
z
The local clock of Device A is set as the NTP master clock, with the clock stratum
level of 2.
z
Device C (an S3100 Ethernet switch) uses Device A as the NTP server, and
Device A works in server mode automatically.
z
The local clock of Device B is set as the NTP master clock, with the clock stratum
level of 1. Set Device C as the peer of Device B.

III. Configuration procedure
1)
Configure Device C.
# Set Device A as the NTP server.
<DeviceC> system-view
[DeviceC] ntp-service unicast-server 3.0.1.31
2)
Configure Device B (after the Device C is synchronized to Device A).
