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
 
1 

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

2 

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

3 

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

4 

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

5 

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

6 

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.

7 

Save your changes and close the forms.
