Operation Manual – NTPH3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches-Release 1510 Chapter 1 NTP Configuration1-5Table 1-1 NTP implementation modes on an S5600 series switchNTP implementation mode Configuration on S5600 switchesClient/Server modeConfigure the S5600 switch to operate in the NTPserver mode. In this case, the remote serveroperates as the local time server, and the S5600switch operates as the client.Peer modeConfigure the S5600 switch to operate in NTP peermode. In this case, the remote server operates asthe peer of the S5600 switch, and the S5600 switchoperates as the active peer.Broadcast modez Configure the S5600 switch to operate in NTPbroadcast server mode. In this case, the S5600switch broadcast NTP packets through the VLANinterface configured on the switch.z Configure the S5600 switch to operate in NTPbroadcast client mode. In this case, the S5600switch receives broadcast NTP packets throughthe VLAN interface configured on the switch.Multicast modez Configure the S5600 to operate in NTP multicastserver mode. In this case, the S5600 switchsends multicast NTP packets through the VLANinterface configure on the switch.z Configure the S5600 switch to operate in NTPmulticast client mode. In this case, the S5600switch receives multicast NTP packets throughthe VLAN interface configure on the switch.1.2 NTP Implementation Mode ConfigurationA switch can operate in the following NTP modes:z NTP client modez NTP server modez NTP peer modez NTP broadcast server modez NTP broadcast client modez NTP multicast server modez NTP multicast client mode1.2.1 PrerequisitesWhen an S5600 switch operates in NTP server mode or NTP peer mode, you need toperform configuration on the client or the active peer only. When an S5600 switchoperates in NTP broadcast mode or NTP multicast mode, you need to performconfigurations on both the server side and the client side.
