The clock source ssm command configures an SSM level for a clock source.
The undo clock source ssm command restores the SSM level for a clock source.
By default (not configured and not learned), the SSM level is dnu.
Parameter | Description | Value |
---|---|---|
bits0 |
Specifies the bits clock source. |
- |
prc |
Indicates that the SSM level is PRC (G.811 clock signal). |
- |
ssua |
Indicates that the SSM level is SSUA (G.812 transit node clock signal). |
- |
ssub |
Indicates that the SSM level is SSUB (G.812 local node clock signal). |
- |
sec |
Indicates that the SSM level is SEC. |
- |
dnu |
Indicates that the SSM level is not used for clock synchronization. |
- |
unk |
Indicates that the SSM level is unknown clock synchronization quality. |
- |
prtc |
Indicates that the SSM level is PRTC (G.8272 clock signal). |
- |
eprtc |
Indicates that the SSM level is EPRTC (G.8272.1 clock signal). |
- |
esec |
Indicates that the SSM level is ESEC (G.8262.1 clock signal). |
- |
eprc |
Indicates that the SSM level is EPRC (G.811.1 clock signal). |
- |
ptp |
Specifies the ptp clock source. |

Usage Scenario
A synchronization status message (SSM) transmits the quality level of timing signals on a synchronous timing link. Node clocks on a synchronization network parse the SSM to obtain the quality level of an upstream clock.
If SSM levels are configured to participate in clock source selection, the device selects a clock source to be traced based on the SSM levels of clock sources. To enable the clock sources to participate in clock source selection, configure SSM levels for the clock sources. 2 Mbps BITS clock signals have carried SSM levels, and therefore you do not need to configure SSM levels for 2 Mbps BITS clock sources. The SSM levels in descending order are as follows:eprtc, prtc, eprc, prc, ssua, ssub, esec, sec, dnu.
