bits1

Syntax

bits1

Context

config>system>sync-if-timing

Platforms

7210 SAS-T (network and access-uplink), 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12

Description

Commands in this context configure parameters for the Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS).

Note:

  • The 7210 SAS-R6 supports the configuration of only the BITS1 interface for use as an input or output reference. The 7210 SAS-R12 has only a single BITS port on the front panel, unlike the 7210 SAS-R6, which has two ports. Therefore, this command is invalid for the 7210 SAS-R12.

  • The 7210 SAS-T and 7210 SAS-Mxp allow for configuration of both BITS1 and BITS2 interface as an input and output reference.

  • On the 7210 SAS-T and 7210 SAS-Mxp, the BITS1 configuration parameters such as bits-interface-type, line-length, and source-reference are inherited for BITS2 interface. CLI commands are available that provide the user an option to administratively control the BITS2 interface, allowing them to shutdown or enable the BITS2 input and output independently of BITS1 interface. Read the other commands for more information.

ref-order

Syntax

ref-order ptp

no ref-order

Context

config>system>sync-if-timing

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including platforms configured in the access-uplink operating mode; not supported on 7210 SAS platforms configured in the standalone-VC operating mode

Description

This command organizes the priority order of the timing references. The synchronous equipment timing subsystem can lock to different timing reference inputs, those specified in the ref1, ref2 and ptp command configuration.

If a reference source is disabled, the clock from the next reference source as defined by ref-order is used. If all reference sources are disabled, then clocking is derived from a local oscillator.

If a sync-if-timing reference is linked to a source port that is operationally down, the port is no longer qualified as a valid reference. Depending on the platform used, either SFP or Fixed copper ports can be used as a reference.

Note:

  • On the 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12, all three timing references can be enabled at the same time. In other words, it is allowed to specify the syncE and PTP references simultaneously. Only syncE and BITS are allowed as a reference.

  • The 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE (standalone) only supports the first and second parameters and it is allowed to specify the syncE and PTP references simultaneously.

  • The7210 SAS-S 1/10GE (standalone) and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE (standalone) only support first and second parameters.

The no form of this command reverts the reference order to the default values.

Default

ref1 ref2 ptp bits1 bits2 (7210 SAS-T)

ref1 ref2 (7210 SAS-S 1/10GE (standalone))

revert

Syntax

[no] revert

config>system>sync-if-timing

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including platforms configured in the access-uplink operating mode; not supported on 7210 SAS platforms configured in the standalone-VC operating mode

Description

This command allows the clock to revert to a higher priority reference if the current reference goes offline or becomes unstable.

If revertive switching is enabled, the highest-priority valid timing reference will be used. If a reference with a higher priority becomes valid, a reference switch over to that reference will be initiated. If a failure on the current reference occurs, the next highest reference takes over.

If non-revertive switching is enabled, the valid active reference always remains selected, even if a higher-priority reference becomes available. If this reference becomes invalid, a reference switch over to a valid reference with the highest priority will be initiated. When the failed reference becomes operational, it is eligible for selection.

Default

no revert

Description
