Release Information

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 7.6.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 8.3 for M40e routers.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 9.3 for M120 routers.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 10.2 for T320, T640, and T1600 routers.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 12.1 for PTX Series Packet Transport Routers.

Description

(M320, M40e, M120, T320, T640, and T1600 routers and PTX Packet Transport Routers only) Change the external clock source used for chassis synchronization.

Options

external-a

(Routing matrix only) Change the synchronization source to external source A.

external-b

(Routing matrix only) Change the synchronization source to external source B.

bits-a

(PTX Series only) Change the synchronization source to the BITS external source A.

bits-b

(PTX Series only) Change the synchronization source to the BITS external source B.

fpc-slot-number

(PTX Series only) Change the synchronization source to an FPC in the slot specified. For the PTX5000 Packet Transport Router, replace slot-number with a value from 0 through7.

gps-0-10mhz

(PTX Series only) Change the synchronization source to the 10 MHz GPS source on CCG port 0.

gps-0-5mhz

(PTX Series only) Change the synchronization source to the 5 MHz GPS source on CCG port 0.

gps-1-10mhz

(PTX Series only) Change the synchronization source to the 10 MHz GPS source on CCG port 1.

gps-1-5mhz

(PTX Series only) Change the synchronization source to the 5 Hz GPS source on CCG port 1.
