ptp announce interval

The ptp announce interval command configures the interval at which the configuration mode interface sends PTP announce messages. The no ptp announce interval command resets the announce interval to its default of 1 (2 seconds).

Command Mode

Interface-Ethernet Configuration

Interface-Port Channel Configuration

Command Syntax

ptp announce interval log_interval

no ptp announce interval

default ptp announce interval

Parameters

log_interval The number of log seconds between PTP announce messages (base 2 log (seconds)). Value ranges from -3 (1/8 second) to 4 (16 seconds); default value is 1 (2 seconds).

Examples
  • These commands set the interval between PTP announce messages sent by interface ethernet 5 to 4 seconds.
    switch(config)# interface ethernet 5
switch(config-if-Et5)# ptp announce interval 2
switch(config-if-Et5)#

  • These commands reset the PTP announce interval on interface ethernet 5 to the default value of 1 (2 seconds).
    switch(config)# interface ethernet 5
switch(config-if-Et5)# no ptp announce interval
switch(config-if-Et5)#

ptp announce timeout

The ptp announce timeout sets the timeout multiplier for the configuration-mode interface. The timeout multiplier is the number of announcement intervals that the interface will wait without receiving a PTP announce message before a timeout occurs; the range is from 2 to 255. The default multiplier is 3, which results in a 6-second timeout interval when the announce interval is set to the default of 2 seconds. To configure the announce interval, use the ptp announce interval command.

ptp monitor threshold mean-path-delay

Mean path delay is the mean time in nanoseconds that PTP packets take to travel between PTP master and slave. The ptp monitor threshold mean-path-delay command configures the mean-path-delay threshold in nanoseconds. When this threshold is configured, a Syslog message is generated if the value of the most recently calculated mean path delay is greater than or equal to this value.

The no ptp monitor threshold mean-path-delay and default ptp monitor threshold mean-path-delay commands clear the threshold value and prevent further Syslog messages from being generated for this parameter.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Syntax

ptp monitor threshold mean-path-delay threshold

no ptp monitor threshold mean-path-delay

default ptp monitor threshold mean-path-delay

Parameter

threshold threshold in nanoseconds. Values range from 0 to 1000000000 (1 second).

Example

This command sets a mean-path-delay threshold value of 2000 nanoseconds.
switch(config)# ptp monitor threshold mean-path-delay 2000

ptp monitor threshold offset-from-master

PTP offset is the difference in nanoseconds between master and slave time. The ptp monitor threshold offset-from-master command configures the offset-from-master threshold in nanoseconds. A Syslog message is generated if the most recently calculated time offset from the PTP master is outside of the range (-<threshold>, <threshold>). The maximum offset threshold is one second.

The no ptp monitor threshold offset-from-master and no ptp monitor threshold offset-from-master commands clear the threshold value and prevents further Syslog messages from being generated for this parameter.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Syntax

ptp monitor threshold offset-from-master threshold

no ptp monitor threshold offset-from-master

default ptp monitor threshold offset-from-master

Parameter

threshold Offset threshold value in nanoseconds. Values range from 0 to 1000000000.

switch(config)# ptp monitor threshold offset-from-master 500 
switch(config)#

ptp monitor threshold skew

PTP skew is the clock frequency difference between master and slave. The ptp monitor threshold skew command configures the value of the skew-threshold percentage. A Syslog message is generated if the value of the most recently calculated skew is not in the range (1/(1+threshold), 1*(1+threshold)).

The no ptp monitor threshold skew and default ptp monitor threshold skew commands clear the threshold value and prevent further Syslog messages from being generated for this parameter.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Syntax

ptp monitor threshold skew threshold

no ptp monitor threshold skew

default ptp monitor threshold skew

Parameter

Example

This command sets a skew threshold value of 5 (500%).
switch(config)# ptp monitor threshold skew 5
switch(config)#

ptp monitor

The ptp monitor command enables and disables PTP monitoring on the switch. When PTP monitoring is enabled, the switch records PTP status and configuration information (which can be viewed using the show ptp monitor command) and generates Syslog messages for metrics whose threshold values have been configured. PTP monitoring is enabled by default.

The no ptp monitor command disables the PTP monitoring and clears all the recorded data from running-config.
