    Synchronous Ethernet Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) The Cisco ME 3600X 24CX Series Switch supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) as defined by the IEEE 1588-2008 standard. PTP provides for accurate time synchronization on over packet-switched networks. Nodes within a PTP network can act in one of the following roles:...

  • Page 41: Transparent Clocking

    The Cisco ME 3600X 24CX Series Switch does not currently support peer-to-peer transparent clock Note mode. For information on how to configure the Cisco ME 3600X 24CX Series Switch as a transparent clock, Configuring a Transparent Clock, page 10-11. Clock Synchronization PTP master devices periodically launch an exchange of messages with slave devices to help each slave clock recompute the offset between its clock and the master clock.

  • Page 42: Synchronous Ethernet

    The settings shown in this section are an example only; you must determine the appropriate PTP settings based upon your network clocking design. The configuration sections describing the 1PPS and 10Mhz timing ports only apply to the Cisco ME Note 3600X-24CX switch.
