Symmetricom recommends that users
ping from the probe to the
grandmaster’s PTP IP address to verify
the network connection before
attempting to gather data. Improper
network setup and configuration is the
most common error encountered with
the TP 5000 Probe.
Use the CLI command ping [imc |
ioc1-1 | ioc1-2] [<vlan-id>]
<IP address>
to specify the IP address to ping and the
Probe port from which to send the ping.
See
Chapter 3, CLI Commands and
SNMP
for additional info.
Example
:
To ping the grandmaster at IP address
192.168.5.120, no VLAN from port
IOC1-1 of the TP 5000 Probe:
 Type ping ioc1-1
192.168.5.120 and press Enter.
____________________________
To begin the measurement:
show ptp-probe data ioc-[y]
where y is the port number.
Example
:
1. Login at the Admin or Config-user
level.
2. Type show ptp-probe data
ioc-1 and press Enter to start
the measurement process.
3. To stop the measurement process,
press the Enter key again.
