The`ptp forward-v1` command configures the switch to forward Precision Time Protocol version 1 packets as regular multicast traffic. By default, when PTP is enabled and PTPv1 packets are received on the PTP enabled interfaces, these packets are trapped by the CPU, logged and discarded. The feature is already supported on various Arista platforms, this article highlights added support on the 7280R/7280R2/7020R/7500R/7500R2 platforms in EOS 4.26.0F and on the 7280R3/7500R3/7800R3/7289 platforms in EOS 4.29.0F. It highlights some differences in support for 7280/7500/7800 R/R2 platforms versus 7280/7500/7800 R3 platforms.
