Configuring PTP

This chapter includes the following sections:

Overview of PTP

PTP is a time synchronization protocol for nodes distributed across a network. Its hardware timestamp feature provides greater accuracy than other time synchronization protocols such as Network Time Protocol (NTP).

A PTP system can consist of a combination of PTP and non-PTP devices. PTP devices include ordinary clocks, boundary clocks, and transparent clocks. Non-PTP devices include ordinary network switches, routers, and other infrastructure devices.

PTP is a distributed protocol that specifies how real-time PTP clocks in the system synchronize with each other. These clocks are organized into a master-slave synchronization hierarchy with the grandmaster clock, the clock at the top of the hierarchy, determining the reference time for the entire system. Synchronization is achieved by exchanging PTP timing messages, with the members using the timing information to adjust their clocks to the time of their master in the hierarchy. PTP operates within a logical scope called a PTP domain.

PTP Device Types

The following clocks are common PTP devices:

Ordinary clock

Communicates with the network based on a single physical port, similar to an end host. An ordinary clock can function as a grandmaster clock.

Boundary clock

Typically has several physical ports, with each port behaving like a port of an ordinary clock. However, each port shares the local clock, and the clock data sets are common to all ports. Each port decides its individual state, either master (synchronizing other ports connected to it) or slave (synchronizing to a downstream port), based on the best clock available to it through all of the other ports on the boundary clock. Messages related to synchronization and establishing the master-slave hierarchy terminate in the protocol engine of a boundary clock and are not forwarded.

Transparent clock

Forwards all PTP messages like an ordinary switch or router but measures the residence time of a packet in the switch (the time that the packet takes to traverse the transparent clock) and in some cases the link delay of the ingress port for the packet. The ports have no state because the transparent clock does not need to synchronize to the grandmaster clock.

There are two kinds of transparent clocks:

End-to-end transparent clock

Measures the residence time of a PTP message and accumulates the times in the correction field of the PTP message or an associated follow-up message.

Peer-to-peer transparent clock

Measures the residence time of a PTP message and computes the link delay between each port and a similarly equipped port on another node that shares the link. For a packet, this incoming link delay is added to the residence time in the correction field of the PTP message or an associated follow-up message.


Note

PTP operates only in boundary clock mode. Cisco recommends deployment of a Grand Master Clock (GMC) upstream, with servers containing clocks requiring synchronization connected to the switch.

End-to-end transparent clock and peer-to-peer transparent clock modes are not supported.

PTP Process

The PTP process consists of two phases: establishing the master-slave hierarchy and synchronizing the clocks.

Within a PTP domain, each port of an ordinary or boundary clock follows this process to determine its state:

  • Examines the contents of all received announce messages (issued by ports in the master state)

  • Compares the data sets of the foreign master (in the announce message) and the local clock for priority, clock class, accuracy, and so on

  • Based on this comparison, determines its own state as either master or slave

After the master-slave hierarchy has been established, the clocks are synchronized as follows:

  • The master sends a synchronization message to the slave and notes the time it was sent.

  • The slave receives the synchronization message and notes the time it was received.

  • The slave sends a delay-request message to the master and notes the time it was sent.

  • The master receives the delay-request message and notes the time it was received.

  • The master sends a delay-response message to the slave.

  • The slave uses these timestamps to adjust its clock to the time of its master.

High Availability

Stateful restarts are not supported for PTP.

Licensing Requirements for PTP

PTP requires no license. Any feature not included in a license package is bundled with the Cisco NX-OS system images and is provided at no extra charge to you. For a complete explanation of the Cisco NX-OS licensing scheme, see the Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide.

Guidelines and Limitations for PTP

  • PTP operates only in boundary clock mode. End-to-end transparent clock and peer-to-peer transparent clock modes are not supported.

  • PTP supports transport over User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Transport over Ethernet is not supported.

  • PTP supports only multicast communication. Negotiated unicast communication is not supported.

  • PTP is limited to a single domain per network.

  • All management messages are forwarded on ports on which PTP is enabled. Handling management messages is not supported.

  • PTP-capable ports do not identify PTP packets and do not time-stamp or redirect those packets unless you enable PTP on those ports.

  • Cisco Nexus 3000 series switches should be synchronized from the neighboring master using a synchronization log interval that ranges from --2 to --5.

  • Do not enable PTP on more than 10 ports if the synchronization log interval is set to -3 or lower on all of those ports.

      Overview of PTP

      PTP is a time synchronization protocol for nodes distributed across a network. Its hardware timestamp feature provides greater accuracy than other time synchronization protocols such as Network Time Protocol (NTP).

      A PTP system can consist of a combination of PTP and non-PTP devices. PTP devices include ordinary clocks, boundary clocks, and transparent clocks. Non-PTP devices include ordinary network switches, routers, and other infrastructure devices.

      PTP is a distributed protocol that specifies how real-time PTP clocks in the system synchronize with each other. These clocks are organized into a master-slave synchronization hierarchy with the grandmaster clock, the clock at the top of the hierarchy, determining the reference time for the entire system. Synchronization is achieved by exchanging PTP timing messages, with the members using the timing information to adjust their clocks to the time of their master in the hierarchy. PTP operates within a logical scope called a PTP domain.

      PTP Device Types

      The following clocks are common PTP devices:

      Ordinary clock

      Communicates with the network based on a single physical port, similar to an end host. An ordinary clock can function as a grandmaster clock.

      Boundary clock

      Typically has several physical ports, with each port behaving like a port of an ordinary clock. However, each port shares the local clock, and the clock data sets are common to all ports. Each port decides its individual state, either master (synchronizing other ports connected to it) or slave (synchronizing to a downstream port), based on the best clock available to it through all of the other ports on the boundary clock. Messages related to synchronization and establishing the master-slave hierarchy terminate in the protocol engine of a boundary clock and are not forwarded.

      Transparent clock

      Forwards all PTP messages like an ordinary switch or router but measures the residence time of a packet in the switch (the time that the packet takes to traverse the transparent clock) and in some cases the link delay of the ingress port for the packet. The ports have no state because the transparent clock does not need to synchronize to the grandmaster clock.

      There are two kinds of transparent clocks:

      End-to-end transparent clock

      Measures the residence time of a PTP message and accumulates the times in the correction field of the PTP message or an associated follow-up message.

      Peer-to-peer transparent clock

      Measures the residence time of a PTP message and computes the link delay between each port and a similarly equipped port on another node that shares the link. For a packet, this incoming link delay is added to the residence time in the correction field of the PTP message or an associated follow-up message.


      Note

      PTP operates only in boundary clock mode. Cisco recommends deployment of a Grand Master Clock (GMC) upstream, with servers containing clocks requiring synchronization connected to the switch.

      End-to-end transparent clock and peer-to-peer transparent clock modes are not supported.

      The PTP process consists of two phases: establishing the master-slave hierarchy and synchronizing the clocks.

      Within a PTP domain, each port of an ordinary or boundary clock follows this process to determine its state:

      • Examines the contents of all received announce messages (issued by ports in the master state)

      • Compares the data sets of the foreign master (in the announce message) and the local clock for priority, clock class, accuracy, and so on

      • Based on this comparison, determines its own state as either master or slave

      After the master-slave hierarchy has been established, the clocks are synchronized as follows:

      • The master sends a synchronization message to the slave and notes the time it was sent.

      • The slave receives the synchronization message and notes the time it was received.

      • The slave sends a delay-request message to the master and notes the time it was sent.

      • The master receives the delay-request message and notes the time it was received.

      • The master sends a delay-response message to the slave.

      • The slave uses these timestamps to adjust its clock to the time of its master.

      High Availability

      Stateful restarts are not supported for PTP.

        Make sure that you have globally enabled PTP on the switch and configured the source IP address for PTP communication.

        DETAILED STEPS
           Command or ActionPurpose
          Step 1configure terminal


          Example: 
          switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
           

          Enters global configuration mode.

           
          Step 2interface ethernet slot/port


          Example: 
          switch(config) # interface ethernet 7/1
switch(config-if) #
           

          Specifies the interface on which you are enabling PTP and enters the interface configuration mode.

           
          Step 3[no] ptp


          Example: 
          switch(config-if) # ptp
           

          Enables or disables PTP on an interface.

           
          Step 4[no] ptp announce {interval log seconds | timeout count}


          Example: 
          switch(config-if) # ptp announce interval 1
                      		(Optional)

          Configures the interval between PTP announce messages on an interface or the number of PTP intervals before a timeout occurs on an interface.

          The range for the PTP announcement interval is from 0 to 4 seconds, and the range for the interval timeout is from 2 to 10.

           
          Step 5[no] ptp delay request minimum interval log seconds


          Example: 
          switch(config-if) # ptp delay request minimum interval 3
                      		(Optional)

          Configures the minimum interval allowed between PTP delay-request messages when the port is in the master state.

          The range is from -1 to 6 seconds.

           
          Step 6[no] ptp sync interval log seconds


          Example: 
          switch(config-if) # ptp sync interval -3
                      		(Optional)

          Configures the interval between PTP synchronization messages on an interface.

          The range is from -6 to 1 second.

           
          Step 7[no] ptp vlan vlan-id


          Example: 
          switch(config-if) # ptp vlan 10
                      		(Optional)

          Specifies the VLAN for the interface where PTP is being enabled. You can only enable PTP on one VLAN on an interface.

          The range is from 1 to 4094.

           
          Step 8show ptp brief


          Example: 
          switch(config-if) # show ptp brief
                      		(Optional)

          Displays the PTP status.

           
          Step 9show ptp port interface interface slot/port


          Example: 
          switch(config-if) # show ptp port interface ethernet 7/1
                      		(Optional)

          Displays the status of the PTP port.

           
          Step 10copy running-config startup-config


          Example:
          switch(config-if) # copy running-config-startup-config
                      		(Optional)

          Saves the change persistently through reboots and restarts by copying the running configuration to the startup configuration.

           

          This example shows how to configure PTP on an interface and configure the intervals for the announce, delay-request, and synchronization messages:

          switch# config t
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# ptp
switch(config-if)# ptp announce interval 3
switch(config-if)# ptp announce timeout 2
switch(config-if)# ptp delay-request minimum interval 4
switch(config-if)# ptp sync interval -1
switch(config-if)# show ptp brief
PTP port status
-----------------------
Port State

          Verifying the PTP Configuration

          To display the PTP configuration, perform one of the following tasks:

          Table 2 PTP Show Commands
          Command Purpose
          show ptp brief

          Displays the PTP status.
          show ptp clock

          Displays the properties of the local clock, including clock identity.
          show ptp clock foreign-masters-record

          Displays the state of foreign masters known to the PTP process. For each foreign master, the output displays the clock identity, basic clock properties, and whether the clock is being used as a grandmaster.
          show ptp corrections

          Displays the last few PTP corrections.
          show ptp parent

          Displays the properties of the PTP parent.
          show ptp port interface ethernet slot/port

          Displays the status of the PTP port on the switch.
          show ptp clock foreign-masters-record interface ethernet slot/port

          Displays the properties of the PTP clock.
