l
Router C and Router D are in the same network segment; Router A is in another network
segment; Router F connects with the two network segments.
l
Router C functions as an NTP multicast server and its clock is a primary NTP clock with
the stratum being 2. Multicast packets are sent out from GE 1/0/0.
l
Router D and Router A sense the multicast packets respectively on GE 1/0/0 of them.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1.
Configure Router C as an NTP multicast server.
2.
Configure Router A and Router D as NTP multicast clients.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
l
IP addresses of Router A, Router C, Router D, and Router F
l
Stratum of the NTP primary clock
Procedure
Step 1
Configure an IP address for each Router.
Configure IP addresses based on
. The detailed procedures are not mentioned here.
Step 2
Configure an NTP multicast server.
# Set the local clock on Router C as a primary NTP primary clock with stratum being 2.
