Two Cards No Reference
Overview
If you are using two DAG cards in a single host computer with no reference clock, you must
synchronize the DAG cards using the same method if you wish to compare the timestamps
between the two DAG cards. You may wish to do this for example if the two DAG cards
monitor different directions of a single full-duplex link. You can synchronize the DAG cards
in two ways:
•
One DAG card can be a clock master for the second. This is useful if you want both
DAG cards to be accurately synchronized with each other, but not so for absolute time
of packet time-stamps, or
• One DAG card can synchronize to the host and also act as a master for the second
DAG card.
Synchronizing with Each Other
Although the master DAG card’s clock drifts against UTC, the DAG cards will be locked
together. This is achieved by connecting the time synchronization connectors of both DAG
cards using a DUCK crossover cable 52 (page ) ( Note: A 4-pin to RJ45 Adapter may be
required).
Configure one of the DAG cards as the master so that the other defaults to being a slave as
follows:
dagclock –d0 none overout
