Firewall A and Firewall B get synchronized upon receiving a broadcast message from Firewall C.
# Take Firewall A as an example. Display the NTP status of Firewall A after clock synchronization.
[FirewallA-GigabitEthernet0/1] display ntp-service status
Clock status: synchronized
Clock stratum: 3
Reference clock ID: 3.0.1.31
Nominal frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Actual frequency: 64.0000 Hz
Clock precision: 2^7
Clock offset: 0.0000 ms

430BNetwork requirements
As shown in 845HFigure 55, Firewall B functions as the NTP server for multiple devices on different network
segments and synchronizes the time among multiple devices.
• Firewall B's local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level 2.
• Firewall B operates in multicast server mode and sends multicast messages from GigabitEthernet
0/1.
• Firewall A and Firewall C operate in multicast client mode and receive multicast messages through
their respective GigabitEthernet 0/1.
