To enable transparent clock functionality on an Ethernet satellite

Before you begin

You must create one of the following satellites on a 7450 ESS, 7750 SR or 7950 XRS, Release 16.0 R5 and later:

  • 48-port 1-Gig Ethernet SFP satellite

  • 64-port 10-Gig SFPP Ethernet satellite with 4 100-Gig CFP up-links

  • 48-port 1-Gig Ethernet SFP satellite, LCS variant

  • 64-port 10-Gig SFPP Ethernet satellite with 4 100-Gig QSFP28 up-links

See To create a satellite shelf.

Steps
 

On the equipment tree, navigate to the Ethernet satellite shelf and choose Properties. The Satellite Configure Shelf form opens.


Enable the Synchronous Ethernet and Ptp Transparent Clock parameters under Shelf Details, and the Ptp Transparent Clock parameter under Feature.


On the equipment tree, right-click on the NE with the Ethernet satellite shelf and choose Properties.


Click on the Clock item under the IEEE PTP and Synchronization items in the navigation tree.


Set the PTP Profile parameter on the General tab to IEEE1588-2008.


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


Save your changes and close the forms.
