A Boundry Clock:
• Has multiple Precision Time Protocol (PTP) ports in a domain and maintains the timescale
used in the domain.
• Can serve as the time source and can synchronize with another clock.
• Device type can choose to use the delay request-response mechanism or the peer delay
mechanism to measure the propagation delay between the PTP ports.
A clock that provides Precision Time Protocol (PTP) event transit time information also provides
corrections for the propagation delay of the link. The link, in this case, is connected to the port that
is receiving the PTP event messages. Ports on peer-to-peer transparent clocks use the peer delay
mechanism to calculate the propagation delay between PTP ports.
An End-to-End Transparent Clock supports the use of an end-to-end delay measurement
mechanism between the slave clock and the master clock. Ports on end-to-end transparent clocks
are independent of propagation delay mechanisms.
Format
config ptp mode [boundary | p2p_transparent | e2e_transparent]
Parameters
Restrictions
Only Administrator, Operator and Power-User level users can issue this command.
Example
To specify the switch as a peer-to-peer transparent clock:
83-4 config ptp transport protocol
Description
This command is used to specify the transport protocol that will be used for the communication
path.
Format
config ptp transport protocol [ethernet | udp]
