Configure Hybrid Mode with a User-Defined Mapping of the PTP Clock Class to the ESMC Quality-Level

date_range 20-Dec-24

Read this topic to configure hybrid mode options with a user-defined mapping of the PTP clock class to ESMC quality level.

To configure hybrid mode options with a user-defined mapping of the PTP clock class to the ESMC quality level, perform the following steps:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit protocols ptp slave] hierarchy level:
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit]
    user@host# edit protocols ptp slave
    
  2. To override the default mapping option, perform the following steps:
    1. Configure the clock-class-to-quality-level-mapping option with one of the quality level values. The quality level values are prc, prs, sec, smc, ssu-a, ssu-b, st2, st3, st3e, st4, stu, and tnc.

      content_copy zoom_out_map
      [edit protocols ptp slave]
      user@host# edit clock-class-to-quality-level-mapping quality-level prc | prs | sec | smc | ssu-a | ssu-b | st2 | st3 | st3e | st4 | stu | tnc
      
    2. Configure the clock-class option for the set quality level. The clock class value ranges from 80 through 109.

      content_copy zoom_out_map
      [edit protocols ptp slave clock-class-to-quality-level-mapping quality-level quality-level-value]
      user@host# set clock-class clock-class
      
    Note:

    In hybrid mode, the boundary node advertises the grandmaster clock class value only after phase lock is achieved.

  3. Configure the hybrid mode option on the timeReceiver.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit protocols ptp slave]
    user@host# edit hybrid
    
  4. For MX routers, perform the following steps:
    1. Configure the Synchronous Ethernet mapping option in hybrid mode.

      content_copy zoom_out_map
      [edit protocols ptp slave hybrid]
      user@host# edit synchronous-ethernet-mapping
      
    2. Configure the IP address of the clock source.

      content_copy zoom_out_map
      [edit protocols ptp slave hybrid synchronous-ethernet-mapping]
      user@host# edit clock-source ip-address
      
    3. Configure one or more Synchronous Ethernet source interfaces for the timeReceiver as needed.

      content_copy zoom_out_map
      [edit protocols ptp slave hybrid synchronous-ethernet-mapping clock-source ip-address]
      user@host# set interface interface1-name
      user@host# set interface interface2-name
      
    Note:

    You must first configure these interfaces at the [edit chassis synchronization] hierarchy level as Synchronous Ethernet sources. For information about configuring these interfaces, see synchronization (MX Series).

  5. For ACX series routers, perform the following steps:
    1. Configure the upstream unicast PTP timeTransmitter interface and IP address of the clock source.

      content_copy zoom_out_map
      [edit protocols ptp slave]
      user@host# set interface interface-name unicast-mode clock-source ip-address
      
    2. Configure one or more Synchronous Ethernet source interfaces for the timeReceiver as needed.

      content_copy zoom_out_map
      [edit protocols ptp slave ]
      user@host# set interface interface1-name unicast-mode clock-source ip-address
      user@host# set interface interface2-name unicast-mode clock-source ip-address 
      
    Note:

    You must first configure these interfaces at the [edit chassis synchronization] hierarchy level as Synchronous Ethernet sources. For information about configuring these interfaces, see synchronization (ACX Series).
