Provisioning PTP
Two-Step Clock Mode
A two-step clock includes a follow-up packet after the Sync packet from the
grandmaster, as shown in Figure 4-16. Use the “set ptp two-step IOC1-y enable”
command to enable the grandmaster for two-step clock mode on the specified port.
A one-step clock does not include a follow-up packet after the Sync packet from the
grandmaster, as shown in Figure 4-17. If two-step clock mode is disabled, the
grandmaster uses one-step clock mode.
Two-step clock mode is disabled by default.
Use the following procedure to configure Port 1 of IOC1 for two-step clock mode:
1. Login at the Admin or Config-user level.
2. Type
set ptp two-step ioc1-1 enable and press Enter.
