Overview
Use this document to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot timing and synchronization capabilities in OcNOS. It covers support for SyncE, IEEE 1588‑v2 PTP (including default and specialized profiles such as G.8265.1, G.8275.1, G.8275.2, SMPTE, and IWF), clock types (boundary, grandmaster, transparent, inter-working), and practical examples to maintain network timing accuracy in service‑provider deployments.
Target Users
This document targets network timing engineers, synchronization specialists, and service provider operations teams deploying time‑sensitive applications. It assumes familiarity with Ethernet networking, time distribution principles, and basic OcNOS command usage.
Key Capabilities
This document walks through timing configurations and tools across key areas:
|
•
|
SyncE interface and clock-source commands |
|
•
|
PTP clock profiles: default (OCN), Telecom (G.8275.1 or G.8275.2), Power (G.8265.1), SMPTE 2059‑2, and Interworking Function (IWF) |
|
•
|
Clock roles: grandmaster, boundary, transparent, and inter-working (IWF mode for PTP to SyncE or vice versa conversion) |
|
•
|
SyncE holdover and quality level management |
|
•
|
PTP clock-port, transport, delay mechanisms, and TLV settings |
|
•
|
Diagnostic commands, troubleshooting workflows, and timing health assessment |
