To configure IEEEv2 1588 BC and OC PTP clocks

Before you begin

  • To be able to configure PTP clock parameters, you must disable the administrative state of the PTP clock.

  • To be able to configure PTP port parameters, you must disable the administrative state of the PTP port.

Steps
 

Configure VLAN elements. See To configure microwave backhaul services for more information.

Note: Ensure that the adjacencies are configured manually and the path search option is not used.


On the equipment tree, expand Network→Wavence→Synchronization→IEEE 1588 PTP.


Right-click on the Clock object and choose Properties. The IEEE 1588 PTP Clock (Edit) form opens.


Set the Admin State parameter to Disabled.

Note: The parameters in the IEEE 1588 PTP Clock (Edit) form are not editable when the Admin State parameter is Enabled.


Perform one of the following to configure the clock type.

  1. Configure the boundary clock:

    1. Set the Clock Type parameter to Boundary Clock.

    2. Click Apply.

    3. Click on the IEEE PTP Port tab. Sixteen ports are listed.

  2. Configure the ordinary clock, slave:

    1. Set the Clock Type parameter to Ordinary Clock, Slave.

    2. Click Apply.

    3. Click on the IEEE PTP Port tab. One port is listed.

  3. Configure the ordinary clock, master:

    1. Set the Clock Type parameter to Ordinary Clock, Master.

    2. Click Apply.

    3. Click on the IEEE PTP Port tab. One port is listed.

Note: When you change the clock type parameter, the values that are configured for the respective port parameters are lost and the parameters revert to the default values.


Choose a PTP port and choose Properties. The IEEE 1588 PTP Port (Edit) form opens.


Configure the VLAN ID parameter with the same value as you configured in Step 1.

Note: The VLAN ID that you assign to one port cannot be assigned to any other port.


Configure the remaining parameters, if required.


Save your changes and close the form.

Repeat Step 3 to open the IEEE 1588 PTP Clock (Edit) form.

Set the Admin State parameter to Enabled, save your changes, and close the form.

Result: All the parameters are read-only except Admin State and no further changes can be made to the Clock Type parameter.
