TimeProvider 5000 CLI Command Set
show ptp-node
This command sends a request for the Acceptable Master list, clock description, or
client status to the TP500 found at the <client_ip> address.
This command can also send a NULL_MANAGEMENT message to the TP500
found at the <client_ip> address. If the targeted TP500 is successfully reached, the
command response will indicate that the TP500 has acknowledged the message.
This command performs a function similar to ping.
Note: Per IEEE-1588-2008, the management TLV data field is of zero
length. No action affecting data sets or state shall result from
receiving this TLV. The receipt of a NULL_MANAGEMENT message
shall adhere to the requirements of the actionField; see 15.4.1.6 in
IEEE-1588-2008.
NULL_MANAGEMENT messages are typically used to test
implementations by exercising the management handlers without
producing any change in protocol operation. For example, such a
message can be sent to test whether received management
messages are being recorded in an implementation-specific event
log.
The acceptable master list, clock description, and null-management commands can
also be used with other PTP clients that support PTP management messages.
