Abstract
In a method, a network device receives a combined optical signal, where the combined optical signal is obtained by coupling optical signals sent by a plurality of communication nodes. If the network device is not a master node, the network device detects whether a master label exists in the combined optical signal, where the master label indicates the master node. If it is detected that a first master label exists in the combined optical signal, where the first master label indicates a first master node, the network device synchronizes a local clock frequency with a clock frequency of the first master node.
