Announce Interval Type the time interval, specified as the logarithmic mean in seconds, for sending announce messages.
Valid values:
• 0—1 second
• 1—2 seconds
• 2— 4 seconds
• 3— 8 seconds
• 4—16 seconds
Default: 1 (2 seconds)
Sync Interval Type the time interval, specified as the logarithmic mean in seconds, for sending synchronization messages.
Valid values:
• -1—half second
• 0—1 second
• 1— 2 seconds
Default: 0 (1 second)
Sync Fault Limit Type the maximum clock offset before PTP attempts to reacquire synchronization.
Valid values: 50…500000000 nanoseconds
Default: 50000 nanoseconds
IMPORTANT: We recommend against setting the sync limit below the default (50000 nanoseconds). Use values below 50000 nanoseconds only in
networks with a very high-precision grandmaster clock. These networks have a critical need to keep very sensitive devices synchronized.
Vlan Id
(Not available on
Stratix 8000/8300 switches)
To configure PTP on a VLAN of a trunk port, type the VLAN ID. Only PTP packets in the VLAN you specify are processed. PTP packets from other
VLANs are dropped. You can only enable PTP on one VLAN on a trunk port.
Valid values: 1…4094
The default is the native VLAN of the trunk port.
