How to Configure Network Clocking

Information About Network Clocking

The network clocking support for 76-ES+XT-2TG3CXL and 76-ES+XT-4TG3CXL line cards is built on top of the existing network clocking feature with SIP-200 and SIP-400 line cards. All the original network clock sources provided by SPA interfaces on SIP-200 and SIP-400 line cards operate the same way as before. Additionally, you can use network clocking support for the 76-ES+XT-2TG3CXL and 76-ES+XT-4TG3CXL to configure:

BITS clock source

10GE interface clock source

These enhancements provide Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) feature support for service provider applications making the 76-ES+XT-2TG3CXL and 76-ES+XT-4TG3CXL line cards the preferred choices for carrier Ethernet environments.

The 76-ES+XT-2TG3CXL or 76-ES+XT-4TG3CXL line cards operate in three different modes for clock synchronization depending on the configuration and the current source state.

Free-running—A line card that is not participating in network clocking or a line card that is actively sourcing the clock operates in free-running mode. In this mode, the line card internal oscillator generates the reference clock to the backplane.


Note In a nonpartcipating mode or a disabled mode, the line card distributes a Stratum 3-quality timing signal to an external reference clock. Other interfaces on different line cards receive either the backplane reference clock or the external reference clock depending on their configurations.



Note Line card operation is in free-running mode only if it is not participating in the system clocking, is configured as the active source using on-board oscillator, or does not currently have a valid clock source before the first clock synchronization; otherwise the line cards operate in normal mode.


Normal—In normal mode, the module synchronizes with an externally supplied network timing reference, sourced from one of the chassis BITS inputs or recovered from a network interface. In this mode, the accuracy and stability of the output signal is determined by the accuracy and stability of the input reference.

Holdover—In holdover mode, the network timing module generates a timing signal based on the stored timing reference used when operating in normal mode. Holdover mode is automatically selected when the recovered reference is lost or has drifted excessively.


Note You cannot configure the drift range; it is set internally on the line card to +/-9.2~12 ppm (parts per million) by default. This ppm setting is typical for applications that requires a clock quality level of Stratum 3/3E, ITU-T G.813 option 1.



Note All line cards operate in the free-running mode until the network clock is configured.


How to Configure Network Clocking

The following sections provide information on configuring network clocking:

Configuring BITS Clock Support

Configuring 10GE Interface as Clock Source

Verifying the Clock Source

Clock Source Recovery

Configuring BITS Clock Support

You can select and configure the BITS port on the 76-ES+XT-2TG3CXL or 76-ES+XT-4TG3CXL line card as the system clock source. This will synchronize the system backplane clock with the corresponding BITS port input clock and distribute the BITS port input clock across the chassis as the transmit clock reference for all other interfaces that support network clocking.

Usage Guidelines

Use the following guidelines:

When the network clocking configuration is present in the startup configuration, the clocking configuration is not applied until five minutes after the configuration has been parsed. This prevents clocking instability on the backplane when the interfaces and controllers come up out of order.

Network clocking is enabled by default for the 76-ES+XT-2TG3CXL and 76-ES+XT-4TG3CXL.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRD1 does not support synchronization status messaging (SSM) through BITS input.

If there is a BITS clock source flap because of Loss of Signal (LOS), Loss of Frame (LOF), T1 Blue Alarm, or E1 Alarm Indication Signal (AIS), there is an interval of 150 seconds before the source becomes valid and active.

In the event of an Out-of-Range (OOR) switchover (revertive mode), the source switchover occurs when the clock offset crosses the +/-12 ppm threshold. If this occurs, you must reconfigure the source.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. network-clock slot slot bits number {2m | e1 [crc4] | j1 [esf]| t1 [d4 | esf [133ft | 266ft | 399ft | 533ft | 655ft]}

4. network-clock select priority slot slot bits number

5. exit

Detailed Steps

To configure BITS clock support for the Cisco 76-ES+XT-2TG3CXL and 76-ES+XT-4TG3CXL, use the following commands.

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

enable

Example:
Router# enable

Router(config)# network-clock slot 1 bits 0 t1 d4 266ft 

Router(config)# network-clock select 1 slot 1 bits 0 
Router(config)# exit

Configuring 10GE Interface as Clock Source

This will set up the line card to extract the received clock from the 10GE interface, either the LAN PHY or the WAN PHY, and have the system backplane clock synchronized to it. Then the system will use it as the transmission clock reference for all other interfaces in the chassis that support the network clocking feature.

Usage Guidelines

Use the following guidelines:

When the network clocking configuration is present in the startup configuration, the clocking configuration is not applied until five minutes after the configuration has been parsed. This prevents clocking instability on the backplane when the interfaces/controllers come up out of order.

Network clocking is enabled by default for the 76-ES+XT-2TG3CXL and 76-ES+XT-4TG3CXL.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRD1 does not support Ethernet Synchronization Message Channel (ESMC) on LAN PHY and SSM received from SONET/SDH frames for WAN PHY.

If there is a clock source flap because of interface up and down events, there is an interval of 150 seconds before the source becomes valid and active.

In the event of an Out-of-Range (OOR) switchover (revertive mode), but the interface stays up, the source switchover occurs when the clock offset crosses the +/-12 ppm threshold. If this occurs, you must reconfigure the source.

Clock Source Recovery

For clock source recovery on the 76-ES+XT-2TG3CXL and 76-ES+XT-4TG3CXL, consider the following guidelines:

With BITS port as the clock source:

Clock state shows "Hardware not present" if the line card is removed.

Clock becomes "Validate but not present" if BITS Rx reports LOS, LOF, Blue Alarm (T1), or AIS (E1)

If there are no BITS RX alarms, the clock state is "Valid."

With 10GE ports as the clock source:

Clock state shows Hardware not present if the line card is removed.

Clock becomes Validate but not present if the interface is down.

If interface goes back up, the clock state is "Valid."

For both 10GE port clock recovery and BITS port clock recovery, when the clock source is recovered, the line card will send notification to the RP. Then after a 150-second debounce period, the RP sends a control message to every participant to synchronize with the valid clock source again.

Cisco 7600 Synchronous Ethernet

Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) defined by the ITU-T standards such as G.8261 and G.8262 leverages the PHY layer of Ethernet to transmit clock information to the remote sites. SyncE over Ethernet provides a cost-effective alternative to the SONET networks. For SyncE to work, each network element along the synchronization path must support SyncE. To implement SyncE, the Bit clock of the Ethernet is aligned to a reliable clock traceable to Primary Reference Clock (PRC).

SyncE is implemented on an ES+ card for Cisco 7600 series routers. An ES+ card has a dedicated external interface known as BITs interface to recover clock from a Synchronization Supply Unit (SSU). The 7600 router uses this clock for SyncE. The BITS interface supports E1(European SSUs) and T1 (American BITS) framing. Table 12-1 lists the framing modes for BITS port on an ES+ card:

You can implement SyncE on an ES+ card with four different configurations:

Clock Recovery from SyncE: System clock is recovered from the SyncE clocking source (gigabit and ten gigabit interfaces only). Router uses this clock as the Tx clock for other SyncE interfaces or ATM/CEoP interfaces.

Clock Recovery from External Interface: System clock is recovered from a BITS clocking source.

Line to External: The clock received from an Ethernet is forwarded to an external SSU. The SynE feature provides the functionality for clock cleanup. For a router in the middle of synchronization chain, the received clock may have unacceptable wander and jitter. The router recovers the clock from the SyncE interface, converts it to the format required for the BITS interface, and sends to a SSU through the BITS port. The SSU performs the cleanup and sends it back to the BITs interface. The cleaned up clock is received back from the SSU. This clock is used as Tx clock for the SyncE ports. For 7600 router, the interface from which the clock is recovered and the BITS port to the SSU should reside on the same ES+ card.

System to External: The system clock is used as Tx clock for an external interface. By default the system clock is not transmitted on the external interface.

The SyncE enabled ES+ line card provides the squelching functionality, where an Alarm indication Signal (AIS) is sent to the Tx interfaces if the clock source goes down. The squelching functionality is implemented in two cases:

Line to external: If the line source goes down, an AIS is transmitted on the external interface to the SSU.

System to external: If the router loses all the clock sources, an AIS is sent on the external interface to the SSU.

Squelching is performed only towards an external device such as SSU or PRC.

You can have a maximum of six clock sources for a 7600 Router and a maximum of 4 clock sources on an ES+ card. The clock source with highest priority is made the default clock source. You can manage the clock sources on an ES+ card by changing the priority of the clock sources. You can also manage the synchronization on ES+ cards using the following management options:

Hold-of Time: If a clock source goes down, the router waits for a specific hold-off time before removing the source. By default, the value of hold-of time is 300 ms.

Wait to Restore: If a SyncE interface comes up, the router waits for a specific period of time before considering the SyncE interface for synchronization source. By default, the value is 300 sec.

Force Switch: Forcefully select a synchronization source irrespective of whether the source is available or within the specified range.

Manual Switch: Forcefully select a synchronization source provided the source is available and within the range.

The ES+ is a family of fixed-port SyncE line cards supporting 20 and 40 Gbps bandwidth for the 7600 series routers. The following ES+ cards support SyncE:

4x10G XFP ports (Longsword)

40x1G SFP ports (Urumi),

2x10G XFP ports (Gladius),

20x1G SFP ports (Katar).

Restrictions and Usage Guidelines

Follow these restrictions and usage guidelines when configuring the SyncE on an ES40 line card:

If the network clock algorithm is enabled, all the ES+ cards on the router use the system clock as Tx clock (synchronous mode) for its ethernet interfaces. You cannot change the synchronous mode on a per interface basis for the line card. The whole line cards functions in the same mode.

On an ES+ card, you can have a maximum of 4 ports configured as clock source at a time.

For a 20x1 gigabit ES+ line card, you can select a maximum of two ports from each NPU.

For a 40x1 gigabit ES+ line card, you can select only one port from each NPU.

No SSM / ESMC support on SyncE.

You can configure a maximum of 6 ports as a clock source for a Cisco 7600 router.

The line to external for clock clean up is supported only if the line interface and the external (BITS) interface are on the same ES+ line card.

SyncE feature is SSO co-existent, but not compliant. The clock selection algorithm is restarted on a switchover. During the switchover the router goes into hold-over mode.

You cannot implement the network-clock based clock selection algorithm and the new algorithm simultaneously. Both these algorithms are mutually exclusive.

Configures the equipment to work in synchronization network. The option_id value 1 refers to synchronization networks design for Europe. This is the default value. The option_id value 2 refers to synchronization networks design for US.

Step 5 

network-clock output-source line prior- ity {interface interface_name | con- troller {t1 | e1} slot/card/port}} {external slot/card/port}



Example:

Router(config-if-srv)#encapsulation dot1q 40 second-dot1q 42


Configures the line clock to be used on external Tx interfaces.

Step 6 

exit

Example:

Router(config)#exit

Exits the global configuration mode.

Examples

This example shows how to configure clock recovery from SyncE for Cisco 7600 Routers:

Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#network-clock synchronization automatic
Router(config)#network-clock synchronization ssm option 2 GEN1
Router(config)#network-clock input-source 1 interface TenGigabitEthernet7/1
Router(config)#network-clock output-source line 1 interface GigabitEthernet1/11 External 
1/0/0 
Router(config)#exit

Managing Synchronization on ES+ Card

You can manage the synchronization on ES+ cards using the following management CLIs:

Wait to Restore: Use the network-clock wait-to-restore timer global command to set wait-to-restore time. You can configure the wait to restore time between 0-86400 sec. The default value is 300 sec. The wait to restore timer can be set at global configuration mode and interface configuration mode. The following example shows how to configure wait to restore timer at global configuration mode:

Router(config)#network-clock wait-to-restore 10 global

The following example shows how to configure wait to restore timer at interface configuration mode:

Router(config)#int ten 7/1
Router(config-if)#network-clock wait-to-restore 10

Hold-off Time: Use network-clock hold-off timer global command to configure hold-off time. You can configure the hold-off time to zero or any value between 50-10000. The default value is 300 ms. The following example shows how to configure hold-off time:

Router(config)#network-clock hold-off 50 global

Force Switch: Use network-clock switch force {interface interface_name slot/sub-slot/port | external slot/sub-slot/port} command to forcefully select a synchronization source irrespective of whether the source is available and within the range. The following example shows how to configure manual switch:

Router(config)#network-clock switch force interface tenGigabitEthernet 7/1 t1

Manual Switch: Use network-clock switch manual {interface interface_name slot/sub-slot/port | external slot/sub-slot/port} command to manually select a synchronization source provided the source is available and within the range. The following example shows how to configure manual switch:

Router(config)#network-clock switch manual interface tenGigabitEthernet 7/1 t1

Clear Manual and Force Switch: Use the network-clock clear switch controller-id command to clear the manual or force switch. The following example shows how to clear a switch:

Router(config)#network-clock clear switch t0

Lock-out a Source: Use the network-clock set lockout {interface interface_name slot/card/port | external slot/card/port command to lock-out a clock source. A clock source flagged as lock-out is not considered for by selection process for SyncE. To clear the lock-out on a source, use network-clock clear lockout {interface interface_name slot/card/port | external slot/card/port command. The following example shows how to lock-out a clock source:

Router(config)#network-clock set lockout interface tenGigabitEthernet 7/1

The following example shows how to clear lock-out on a clock source:

Router(config)#network-clock clear lockout interface tenGigabitEthernet 7/1

Verification

Use the following commands to verify the MTP configuration:

You can use the show network-clocks synchronization command to view brief SyncE configuration:
