The 7210 SAS can support a limited number of configured peers (possible master or
neighbor boundary clocks) and a limited number of discovered peers (slaves).These
peers use the unicast negotiation procedures to request service from the 7210 SAS
clock. A neighbor boundary clock counts for two peers (both a configured and a
discovered peer) toward the maximum limit.
The number of configured Ethernet ports is not restricted.
On the 7210 SAS-M, 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-R6, 7210 SAS-R12,
7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-T, there are limits on the number of slaves
enforced in the implementation for unicast and multicast slaves. Refer to the scaling
guide for the appropriate release for the specific unicast message limits related to
PTP.
On the 7210 SAS-M, when multicast messaging on Ethernet ports is enabled, the
PTP load must be monitored to ensure that the load does not exceed the capabilities
(configured values). There are several commands that can be used for this
monitoring, including:
• show system cpu identifies the load of the PTP software process. If the
“capacity usage” reaches 100%, the PTP software process on the 7210 SAS is
at its limit of transmitting and/or receiving PTP packets.
Because the user cannot control the number of PTP messages received by the
7210 SAS over its Ethernet ports, the following statistics commands can be used to
identify the source of the message load:
• show system ptp statistics displays aggregate packet rates
• show system ptp port and show system ptp port port-id [detail] display
received packet rates
Figure 27 shows the unicast negotiation procedure performed between a slave and
a peer clock that is selected to be the master clock. The slave clock will request
Announce messages from all peer clocks but only request Sync and Delay_Resp
messages from the clock selected to be the master clock.
