Chapter 5 Operating
Managing PTP Clients
How to Check Client Status
The example is for Port 1 on the active IOC card, with Client IP Address of
192.168.1.200 and no VLAN.
1. Login at the Admin level, Config or User level (see Logging In And Out, on page
360).
2. Type
show ptp-node status IOC-1 address 192.168.1.200 and press
Enter.
See Figure 5-3 for a typical response for a status request from a TP500 client.
Monitoring PTP Client Alarm / Event Information
TimeProvider 500 IEEE-1588 clients pass alarm and event information to the
TimeProvider 5000 IEEE-1588 Grandmaster via PTP communication. Event IDs 68
through 70 correspond to TP500 client alarms based on severity (user -configurable
at the client level). Event IDs 71 and 72 are indications of TP500 client events. See
Table A-1 and Table A-2. The TimeProvider 5000 offers a means to monitor alarm
and event information for TimeProvider 500 clients via Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), which is available as an option. The TimeProvider
5000 supports SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. Client alarm and event information is not
accessible through the TP5000 with CLI commands..
SNMP is an application layer protocol that allows you to manage network devices.
SNMP is based on a client-server query-response mode that requires an Ethernet
connection. A manager application (software installed on a computer) is the client
generating the queries, and an agent (software on the TimeProvider 5000) is the
server generating responses. The TimeProvider 5000 SNMP supports most existing
functions.
In order to manage PTP client alarms and events with the TP5000, the alarms and
events must be monitored as SNMP traps. SNMP traps are configured using the
SNMP manager application. Consult the documentation for the SNMP manager
application for details about how to set up traps.
Note: The SNMP feature can either be ordered in a new system, or
added to a previously ordered system as a field upgrade. Contact
your Symmetricom representative for more information.
Note: If SNMP is activated on the TP5000, port 161 becomes
the port of standard SNMP interactive communications and
port 162 becomes the trap port.
