3Com WX3000 Configure Device C # Enter system view, # Set Device a as a broadcast client

Configuration procedure

1)Configure Device C.

# Enter system view.

<DeviceC> system-view

# Set Device C as the broadcast server, which sends broadcast messages through Vlan-interface2.

[DeviceC] interface Vlan-interface 2

[DeviceC-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service broadcast-server

2)Configure Device A. (perform the same configuration on Device D)

# Enter system view.

<DeviceA> system-view

# Set Device A as a broadcast client.

[DeviceA] interface Vlan-interface 2

[DeviceA-Vlan-interface2] ntp-service broadcast-client

After the above configurations, Device A and Device D will listen to broadcast messages through their own Vlan-interface2, and Device C will send broadcast messages through Vlan-interface2. Because Device A and Device C do not share the same network segment, Device A cannot receive broadcast messages from Device C, while Device D is synchronized to Device C after receiving broadcast messages from Device C.
