[Linuxptp-devel] missing SET commands in PMC

2017-03-06 Thread Rommel, Albrecht
Dear Experts, Is there a particular reason that linuxptp does not support some SET commands in PTP management client? Example: pmc -u -d 24 ´GET LOG_SYNC_INTERVAL´ is implemented pmc -u -d 24 ´SET LOG_SYNC_INTERVAL´ is not implemented Is this limitation only in PMC, that the composition of the

Hi Richard, There is a demand for changing PORT_DATA_SET and probably CLOCK_DESCRIPTION while ptp4l is running. The main reason is due to the circumstances involved for stopping ptp4l, modifying the config file (possibly from remote!), restarting ptp4l, and the likelihood of config file corrupt

Hi Richard, Thanks for clarification There are some applications where a PTP clock node (i.e. a master-only-ordinary-clock) will be configured from remote in a secure environment, i.e. NETCONF YANG, or other transport technology (ITU PON, IEEE PON, DOCSIS) specific management protocols. As you

2017-08-01 Thread Rommel, Albrecht
This is a general question to the handling of ptp4l and phc2sys (-a -r) running on PTP nodes: Assuming PTP aware nodes (i.e. a 1588 capable switch acting as a BC, or an end application acting as a PTP slave) are running ptp4l and probably phc2sys (-a -r) for CLOCK_REALTIME synchronization. Thes

Re: [Linuxptp-devel] Forwarding management messages to UDS port

2017-12-07 Thread Rommel, Albrecht
Hi all, Ideally, the UDS port meets the requirements of a "virtual PTP port" as defined in ITU-T G.8275. A virtual PTP port supports all attributes as normally transported in Announce messages or general PTP headers, except that the timing information comes via technology proprietary methods, i
