Synchronization of NTP Client with Stratum 2 NTP Master

In the below section, check Synchronization of NTP Client with Stratum 2 NTP Master.

Topology

The procedures in this section use the topology as mentioned below:

Setup consists of three nodes. First node acting as Stratum 1 NTP Master, Second node acting as Stratum 2 NTP master and the third node acting as NTP client.
