Configuring NTP broadcast mode with authentication
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 64, LB A functions as the NTP server for multiple devices on different network
segments and synchronizes the time among multiple devices. To realize this requirement and ensure
network security, perform the following configurations:
• LB A’s local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level of 3.
• LB A works in the broadcast server mode and sends out broadcast messages from
Ten-GigabitEthernet 0/0.1.
• LB B works in the broadcast client mode and receives broadcast client through Ten-GigabitEthernet
0/0.1.
• NTP authentication is enabled on both LB A and LB B.
