asymmetry
Syntax asymmetry number
Hierarchy Level For ACX Series and QFX Series:
[edit protocols ptp slave interface unicast-mode clock-source local-ip-address]
For MX Series:
[edit protocols ptp slave interface interface-name multicast-mode],
[edit protocols ptp master interface interface-name multicast-mode]
Release Information Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 15.2 for MX Series routers.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 17.3 for QFX Series switches.
Description Specify the asymmetry value between the master and the slave. A compensating value
for networks in which there is path asymmetry between the 1588v2 slave and master.
Specify a positive or negative value that is added to the path delay value from the slave
to the master, making the delay symmetric and equal to the path from the master to the
slave.
Options number—The asymmetry value is in nanoseconds and can vary from minus (–)100
milliseconds to 100 milliseconds, allowing compensation for up to 1/10 of a second
of path asymmetry.
