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).
# Enter system view.
<DeviceB> 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.
