Configuring Clock Source Attributes for BMC Selection

After BITS signal input is configured on multiple T-BCs, you can configure the clock source attributes of the T-BCs to allow them to participate in best master clock (BMC) selection. You can also configure the local clocks of T-BCs to participate in BMC selection. The BMC algorithm (BMCA) helps routers to dynamically select a master clock. The master clock provides time signals for the entire G.8275.1 network. T-BCs use G.8275.1 to achieve time synchronization with the grandmaster clock.

Context

Perform the following steps on each router connected to a BITS source on a G.8275.1 network:

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run ptp clock-source local priority2 priority2-value
The priority2 of the local clock source is configured.
Run ptp clock-source local local-priority local-priority-value
The priority of the local clock source is configured.
Run ptp clock-source local time-source time-source-value
The time source attribute of the local clock source is configured.
Run commit
The configuration is committed.
