Multicast mode

Figure 10 Multicast mode

In multicast mode, a server periodically sends clock synchronization messages to the user-configured

multicast address, or, if no multicast address is configured, to the default NTP multicast address 224.0.1.1,

with the Mode field in the messages set to 5 (multicast mode). Clients listen to the multicast messages

from servers. When a client receives the first multicast message, the client and the server start to

exchange messages with the Mode field set to 3 (client mode) and 4 (server mode), to calculate the

network delay between client and server. Then, the client enters multicast client mode. It continues

listening to multicast messages, and synchronizes its local clock based on the received multicast

messages.

In symmetric peers mode, broadcast mode, and multicast mode, the client (or the symmetric active peer)

and the server (the symmetric passive peer) can operate in the specified NTP operation mode only after

they exchange NTP messages with the Mode field 3 (client mode) and the Mode field 4 (server mode).

During this message exchange process, NTP clock synchronization can be implemented.

NTP configuration task list

Task Remarks

Configuring NTP operation modes Required.

Configuring optional parameters Optional.

Configuring the DSCP value for NTP messages Optional.

Configuring NTP authentication Optional.

Configuring NTP operation modes

Devices can implement clock synchronization in one of the following modes:

• Client/server mode—Configure only clients.

• Symmetric mode—Configure only symmetric-active peers.

• Broadcast mode—Configure both clients and servers.

• Multicast mode—Configure both clients and servers.
