The ptp announce-drop enable command configures the interface of the PTP device to discard Announce messages.
The undo ptp announce-drop enable command restores the default mode of processing Announce messages on the interface of the PTP device.
By default, Announce messages are not discarded.
Announce messages are advertisement messages in PTP, which are used to establish the master-slave hierarchy between devices. If the interface discards Announce messages, the device where the interface resides cannot receive clock synchronization information from other PTP devices. Usually, the ptp announce-drop enable command is configured on the interface at the user side to prevent the interface from receiving and processing Announce messages. This saves system resources.
