clock-type
Syntax clock-type {ordinary {master | slave} | boundary | transparent-e2e}
no clock-type
Context config>system>ptp>clock
Description This command configures the type of clock. The no form of the command returns the 
configuration to the default (ordinary slave). The clock type can only be changed when PTP 
is shut down.
To enable transparent clock processing at the node level, configure a PTP clock with the 
transparent-e2e clock type. The transparent-e2e clock type is only available for a PTP clock 
that transmits and receives PTP messages using IPv4 encapsulation.
Default ordinary slave
Parameters ordinary master  — configures the clock as an ordinary PTP master 
ordinary slave  — configures the clock as an ordinary PTP slave 
boundary  — configures the clock as a boundary clock capable of functioning as both a 
master and slave concurrently
transparent-e2e — configures the clock as a transparent clock. This option is only used 
for a PTP clock that transmits and receives PTP messages using IPv4 encapsulation, 
and is only available for the following: 7705 SAR-M, 7705 SAR-A, 7705 SAR-Ax, 
7705 SAR-W, 7705 SAR-Wx, and 7705 SAR-X.
domain
Syntax domain domain-value
no domain
Context config>system>ptp>clock
Description This command defines the PTP device domain as an integer. A domain consists of one 
device or multiple PTP devices communicating with each other as defined by the protocol. A 
PTP domain defines the scope of PTP message communication, state, operations, data sets 
and timescale. A domain is configured because it is possible that a deployment could require 
two PTP instances within a single network element to be programmed with different domain 
values.
The no form of this command returns the configuration to the default value. The default value 
varies depending on the configuration of the profile command.
Default 0 when the profile is configured as either ieee1588-2008 or itu-telecom-freq
24 when the profile is configured as g8275dot1-2014
