PTP G.8275.2 Profile Source IP as Loopback Configuration
This chapter shows how to configure a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) G.8275.2 profile source IP as loopback over IPv4 and IPv6. This feature allows to configure Telecom Grandmaster (T-GM) and boundary clock. The boundary clock can have more than one port but the configuration of TGM to the boundary clock can be done in a single port at a time. Telecom grandmaster device sets the time for the boundary clock devices.
PTP G.8275.2 Loopback Topology
In the below example, the R1 and R2 are running PTP. R1 is acting as T-GM and R2 is acting as a boundary clock.
The R1 is the master clock and sets the boundary clock timing.
