State and statistics data for each master clock are available to assist in the detection of failures or
unusual situations.
PTP Ordinary Slave Clock For Frequency
Traditionally, only clock frequency is required to ensure smooth transmission in a synchronous
network. The PTP ordinary clock with slave capability on the 7210 SAS provides another option
to reference a Stratum-1 traceable clock across a packet switched network. The recovered clock
can be referenced by the internal SSU and distributed to all slots and ports.

The PTP slave capability is implemented on all the Ethernet port available on the 7210 SAS-M
