Configuring the NTP Symmetric Mode  
Network requirements 
The local clock of Device A is to be configured as a reference source, with the stratum level of 2. 
Device B works in the client mode and Device A is to be used as the NTP server of Device B. 
Device C works in the symmetric-active mode and Device B will act as peer of Device C. Device C 
is the symmetric-active peer while Device B is the symmetric-passive peer.

Configuration procedure 
1)  Configuration on Device A:  
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 2.  
<DeviceA> system-view 
[DeviceA] ntp-service refclock-master 2 
2)  Configuration on Device B:  
# Specify Device A as the NTP server of Device B.  
<DeviceB> system-view 
[DeviceB] ntp-service unicast-server 3.0.1.31 
3)  Configuration on Device C (after Device B is synchronized to Device A): 
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level of 1.  
<DeviceC> system-view 
[DeviceC] ntp-service refclock-master 1 
# Configure Device B as a symmetric peer after local synchronization.
