4.14.6 ptp clock-mode
Configure the Precision Time Protocol (PTP, IEEE 1588) clock mode. If the
clock mode is changed, PTP will be initialized. The default is "disable"
Format
ptp clock-mode {v1-simple-mode
|v2-simple-mode
|v1-boundary-clock
|v2-boundary-clock-onestep
|v2-boundary-clock-twostep
|v2-transparent-clock}
Mode
Global Config
v1-simple-mode
Set the clock mode to 'v1 Simple Mode'. This is a client only mode
without hardware support. The device only accepts PTPv1 sync mes-
sages and sets the time directly. No BMC algorithm will run.
v2-simple-mode
Set the clock mode to 'v2 Simple Mode'. This is a client only mode
without hardware support. The device only accepts PTPv2 sync (or
follow_up) messages and sets the time directly. No BMC algorithm
will run.
v1-boundary-clock
Set the clock mode to 'v1 Boundary Clock'. This specifies the mode
as described in the IEEE1588 standard.
v2-boundary-clock-onestep
Set the clock mode to 'v2 Boundary Clock one-step'. This specifies
the boundary-clock mode as described in the IEEE1588-2008
(PTPv2) standard. The precise timestamp is inserted directly into the
sync-packet (one-step Mode).
v2-boundary-clock-twostep
Set the clock mode to 'v2 Boundary Clock two-step'. This specifies
the boundary-clock mode as described in the IEEE1588-2008
(PTPv2) standard. The precise timestamp is transmitted via a follow-
up packet (two-step Mode).
