Configuration Examples for 1588v2

This chapter provides 1588v2 configuration examples. The configuration roadmap in the examples will help you understand the configuration procedures. Each configuration example includes networking requirements, configuration roadmap, data preparation, configuration procedure, and configuration files.

Example for Configuring the Unicast UDP Encapsulation Mode for 1588v2 Packets to Implement Network-wide Clock Synchronization: 1588v2 is used to transmit frequency signals and time signals from the BITS server, allowing network-wide clock synchronization on the wireless transport network and wireless access network. For the NodeBs that support only UDP encapsulation, NetEngine 8000 Fs can send UDP-encapsulated 1588v2 packets to these NodeBs.

Example for Configuring the Multicast MAC Encapsulation Mode for 1588v2 Packets to Implement Network-wide Clock Synchronization: 1588v2 is used to transmit frequency signals and time signals from the BITS server, allowing network-wide clock synchronization on the wireless transport network and wireless access network. NetEngine 8000 Fs by default use the multicast MAC encapsulation mode to transmit 1588v2 packets. For NodeBs that support multicast MAC encapsulation of 1588v2 packets, it is convenient to implement network-wide clock synchronization by configuring all NetEngine 8000 Fs as BCs.
