A port can operate in one of the following clock modes:
•
Master—The port provides timing to the peer end. The timing signal is derived from the network
clock monitoring module.
If automatic reference selection is used, the timing signal is derived from the reference clock
selected by the network clock monitoring module.
If manual reference selection is used, the timing signal is derived from the manually specified
clock reference.
If the manually specified clock reference is not available, the port outputs the timing signal
generated by the local clock.
Slave—The port uses the timing signal received from the peer end. For the network clock monitoring
•
module to extract timing signal from a port, you must place the port in slave clock mode. If the port
is in master clock mode, the module does not extract the timing signal from the incoming traffic on
the port.
