Description This command configures the minimum interval between multicast Delay_Req messages for 
PTP with Ethernet encapsulation. This parameter is applied on a per-port basis and does not 
apply to peers. PTP slave ports use this interval unless the parent port indicates a longer 
interval. PTP master ports advertise this interval to external slave ports as the minimum 
acceptable interval for Delay_Req messages from those slave ports. The 7705 SAR supports 
the IEEE 1588 requirement that a port in slave mode check the logMessageInterval field of 
received multicast Delay_Resp messages. If the value of the logMessageInterval field for 
those messages is greater than the value configured locally to generate Delay_Req 
messages, then the slave port must use the longer interval for generating Delay_Req 
messages.
The log-delay-interval is calculated using the binary logarithm of the value of the interval in 
seconds. 
The log-delay-interval is only applicable when the clock-id is csm. For PTP with IP 
encapsulation (clock-id is 1 to 16), the value configured for the log-sync-interval is also used 
as the interval for Delay-Req messages.
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 –6 when the profile is configured as ieee1588-2008 
–4 when the profile is configured as g8275dot1-2014
Parameters log-delay-interval — specifies the expected interval between the receipt of Delay_Req 
messages
Values –6 to 0, where –6 is 64 packets/s, –5 is 32 packets/s, –4 is 
16 packets/s, –3 is 8 packets/s, –2 is 4 packets/s, –1 is 2 packets/s, 
and 0 is 1 packet/s, when the profile is configured as either 
ieee1588-2008 or g8275dot1-2014
