Basically, if you are using GPS or some ultra-precise timekeeping gear, the system will know and report itself at stratum 1. Everything else gets its time from another NTP server and is thus stratum 2. Now, on the NTP client, in the config, you can force it to use a particular server at a particular stratum, but that is a client configuration not a server configuration option. I have two servers in my network which get their time from stratum 2 servers and then provide NTP service to the rest of my network. On any of the clients on my network, the two local NTP servers show up as stratum 2.
