In this mode, the remote server servesas the local time server, while the local switch serves as theclient.Symmetric peer modeConfigure the local S5100-SI/EI switch to work in NTPsymmetric peer mode. In this mode, the remote serverserves as the symmetric-passive peer of the S5100-SI/EIswitch, and the local switch serves as the symmetric-activepeer.Broadcast modez Configure the local S5100-SI/EI Ethernet switch to workin NTP broadcast server mode. In this mode, the localswitch broadcasts NTP messages through the VLANinterface configured on the switch.z Configure the S5100-SI/EI switch to work in NTPbroadcast client mode. In this mode, the localS5100-SI/EI switch receives broadcast NTP messagesthrough the VLAN interface configured on the switch.
