Configuring the Outgoing Clock (CLI)
For each interface, you can choose between using the system clock or the interface’s internal clock as its
synchronization source. By default, interfaces use the system clock.
When configuring the outgoing clock, the Sync mode must be set to its default setting of automatic. To display the
current Sync mode, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform sync mode show
If the Sync mode is set to pipe, you must set it to automatic by entering the following command in root view:
root> platform sync mode set automatic
;
To set the interface clock for a radio interface, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform sync interface-clock set radio-interface slot <slot> port
<port> radio-channel <radio-channel> source <source>
To set the interface clock for an Ethernet interface, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform sync interface-clock set eth-interface slot <slot> port
<port> source <source>
Note
To configure the interface clock on an Ethernet interface, the Media Type of the interface must be
rj45 or sfp,
not
auto-type. To view and configure the Media Type of an Ethernet interface, see
Configuring Ethenet Interfaces (CLI).
