Configuring MPLS VPN
Time Synchronization in
Symmetric Peers Mode
Network requirements
It is required that PE 2 can get synchronized to PE 1 in the symmetric peers mode,
with PE 1 synchronized to the local reference source, having a clock stratum level
of 1.
Network diagram
See Figure 320.
Configuration procedure
1 Configuration on PE 1:
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 1.
<PE1> system-view
[PE1] ntp-service refclcok-master 1
2 Configuration on PE 2:
# Specify PE 1 in VPN 1 as the symmetric-passive peer of PE 2.
<PE2> system-view
[PE2] ntp-service unicast-peer vpn-instance vpn1 10.1.1.2
# View the NTP session information and status information on PE 2 a certain
period of time later. The information should show that PE 2 has been synchronized
to PE 1, with the clock stratum level of 2.
