Configuring NTP Server/Client Mode with Authentication
Network requirements
z As shown in Figure 1-10, the local clock of Device A is set as the NTP master clock, with a clock
stratum level of 2.
z Device B is a WX3000 series device and uses Device A as the NTP server. Device B is set to work
in client mode, while Device A works in server mode automatically.
z The NTP authentication function is enabled on Device A and Device B.
