Synchronization options available on 7210 SAS platforms

The following table lists the synchronization options supported on 7210 SAS platforms.

Note:

The 7210 SAS supports the ordinary clock in timeReceiver mode and the boundary clock. The boundary clock and ordinary clock timeReceiver can be used for both frequency and time distribution and recovery. The 7210 SAS does not support ordinary clock in timeTransmitter mode or peer-to-peer transparent clock.

1 Supported on non-ETR and ETR variants
2 Fixed copper ports using synchronous Ethernet can be used as a candidate reference or for distribution of recovered reference when the port is operating at a speed of 1000 Mb/s.
3 Only supported on fixed copper ports
4 Not recommended for use
5 Ordinary clock (timeReceiver) and boundary clock are supported on all variants (non-ETR and ETR)
6 Ordinary clock (timeReceiver) and boundary clock are supported
7 PTP E2E transparent clock is not supported on the 7210 SAS-D, 7210 SAS-Dxp, 7210 SAS-K 2F1C2T, 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T, and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C.
