use-node-time
Syntax [no] use-node-time
Context config>system>ptp>clock
Description This command configures whether the PTP clock will generate event messages based on 
system time.
To enable ToD/phase distribution capability in a master or boundary clock, select use-node-
time. This allows PTP master or boundary clocks to use the node system time from GNSS 
or PTP. For a 7705 SAR with an active GNSS receiver port, PTP boundary clocks in use-
node-time mode will function similar to a grand master clock with GNSS traceability.
This command only applies to master or boundary clocks when:
• the profile setting for the PTP clock is ieee1588-2008 (default configuration) or 
g8275dot1-2014 (see the profile command for the config>system>ptp>clock context)
•the clock-id parameter value is 1 to 16
Default no use-node-time
use-node-time when the profile for the master clock is configured as g8275dot1-2014
