Appendix F PTP Probe Option
Provisioning the Probe
Set Probe IP Address
The two Ethernet ports on the Probe IOC module can be configured as independent
1588 Probe ports or bonded to active/standby mode as a redundant pair. As with
the TP 5000 when it is in Grandmaster mode, the redundant port uses the ETH1
port configuration. Therefore, the redundant ports share the same IP address and
MAC address. The default condition for Ethernet ports on an IOC card is Port
Redundancy OFF. However, Symmetricom does not recommend using the TP 5000
as a Probe with redundant ports.
The IOC Ethernet ports can only be configured with static IP addresses.
The TP 5000 allows VLAN over the redundant port as well as over independent
ports. .
Enabling or disabling redundancy does not require the user to issue the “set IP
restart” command.
See Table F-7 for procedures to set the Probe IP address
Note: The VLAN must first be configured with the “set vlan”
command. VLAN can only be configured using CLI commands
through a terminal.
