[LBA-GigabitEthernet0/1] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 3
Reference clock ID: 3.0.1.31
Nominal frequency: 64.0000 Hz

The output shows that LB A has synchronized to LB B. The stratum level of LB A is 3, and that of LB
B is 2.

Configuration example for NTP client/server mode with
authentication
In this example, Device B is the LB module.
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 81, perform the following configurations to synchronize the time between Device B
and Device A and ensure network security.
• The local clock of Device A is to be configured as a reference source, with the stratum level 2.
• Device B operates in client mode and Device A is to be used as the NTP server of Device B, with
Device B as the client.
• NTP authentication is to be enabled on both Device A and Device B.
