quality-level (Clock Synchronization)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure the quality level for a timing source so that the router knows the best available source with which to synchronize. The quality level specifies the accuracy level of the clock and is transmitted across the network through Synchronization Status Messages (SSMs) over the Ethernet Synchronization Messaging Channel (ESMC), or through SSMs contained in SONET/SDH frames.

SONET SSM messages are either Generation 1 or Generation 2. Generation 1 is the first and most widely deployed SSM message set. Generation 2 is a newer version. Quality level options are available for both Generation 1 and Generation 2.
