System Timing
When synchronous Ethernet is enabled, the operator can select an Ethernet port as a candidate for
timing reference. The timing information recovered from this port is used to time the system.
Note: In the current release the derived time is distributed only through other Ethernet ports.

config>system>sync-if-timing
