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 by the central clock.
Note: In the current release the derived timing is distributed only through other Ethernet ports.

In the event that network timing is required for the synchronous interfaces in the router, a timing
subsystem is utilized to provide a clock to all synchronous interfaces within the system.
This section describes the commands used to configure and control the timing subsystem.
