To configure IEEE 1588 PTP ports on a 7210 SAS, 7250 IXR, 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, or 7950 XRS

Purpose

Perform this procedure to configure IEEE 1588 PTP ports for a supporting device that has the IEEE 1588 PTP clock and the ITU-T G.8275.1, ITU-T G.8275.2, or IEEE1588-2008 profile configured. See To configure the IEEE 1588 PTP clock on a 7210 SAS, 7250 IXR, 7450 ESS, or 7750 SR for information about how to configure the IEEE 1588 PTP clock on a device.

You can configure multiple IEEE PTP ports on the same device.

Steps
 

In the navigation tree equipment view, right-click on the required device and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.


Click on the IEEE PTP Clock tab.


Choose an entry from the list and click Properties. The IEEE 1588 PTP Clock (Edit) form opens.


Click on the IEEE PTP Port tab.


Click Create, or choose an IEEE 1588 PTP port from the list and click Properties. The IEEE 1588 PTP Port (Create|Edit) form opens.

The number of ports that you can create varies depending on the NE. When the limit is reached, the Create button is not available.

Alternatively, you can create IEEE PTP ports by right-clicking on the Clock object in the navigation tree and choosing Create IEEE PTP Port.


Configure the required parameters.

When you configure a 7210 SAS-R NE as a Boundary clock, you must disable the Master Only parameter on at least one of the configured IEEE PTP ports.


If an NE with embedded GNSS receiver is configured as a PTP boundary with G8275.2 profile, the GNSS input is modeled as a virtual PTP port and the GNSS Port tab appears. The GNSS virtual ports are A/gnss or B/gnss.

Choose a virtual PTP port from the list and click Properties to display the IEEE 1588 GNSS Port (View) form.


Save and close the forms.
