Provisioning NTP
Each Ethernet port on the TP5000 IOC module can be configured as either a PTP
grandmaster or as an NTP server, with PTP grandmaster as the default mode. The
exception is for versions that are purchased as dedicated NTP servers.
Use the set packet-service command to configure the IOC port with a
packet-service mode of NTP server. See Figure 4-9 for the set packet-service
command hierarchy.
Use the set ntp command to enable NTP on an IOC port and to configure the DSCP
and TTL parameters. See Figure 4-18 for the set ntp command hierarchy.
Use the command
set packet-service ioc1-x ptp-gm to return an IOC port to
a packet service mode of PTP grandmaster.

Note: The NTP Server feature can either be ordered in a new
system, or added to a previously ordered system as a field upgrade.
Field upgrades require a license activation key. Contact your
Symmetricom representative for more information.
Note: The IP address for the IOC port is configured with the set ip
command whether the port is configured as an NTP server or PTP
grandmaster.
