Introduction

1.1

Description Network synchronization is a generic concept that depicts how to distribute a common time, frequency, or both, to all elements in a network. Network synchronization provides a synchronized network where all the NEs in a network are synchronized to the same source. There are two main methods for frequency synchronization: •

Layer 1 based frequency synchronization Synchronization over Radio Link, PDH, SDH, 2 MHz, or Synchronous Ethernet.

•

Packet based synchronization for frequency in G.8265.1 profile

Time synchronization can be provided with packet based synchronization in G.8275.1 or in Default PTP profile. The IEEE 1588-2008 standard defines the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which is the basis for packet based synchronization. For more information, see Technical Description, Reference [15] and Network Synchronization Guidelines, Reference [10].

1.2

Planning Advice To ensure proper node and network function, all configuration activities must be planned in advance by skilled personnel. Before configuring network synchronization, consider the following planning advice:

1.3

•

Read through the appropriate section for network planning in Network Synchronization Guidelines, Reference [10].

•

Read through all applicable sections and make sure referenced documents are available. All pages in MINI-LINK Craft are described in detail in MINI-LINK Craft User Interface Descriptions, Reference [9].

•

Make sure you have access to the NE using MINI-LINK Craft. For more information, see Accessing a Network Element, Reference [1].

Limitations For the applicable limitations, see Technical Description, Reference [15].

Configuring Interfaces for Frequency Synchronization

3.1.1.1

Configuring Synchronous Ethernet This example script configures the LAN interface for Synchronous Ethernet: Note:

Enabling Flow Control on a Synchronous Ethernet port may disturb the sync function since PAUSE frames may cause SSM frames to be discarded. The sync function will recover automatically when SSM frame transmission is restored.

3.1.1.4

Configuring PTP for Frequency Synchronization (G.8265.1 Profile) It is recommended to read about packet-based frequency synchronization (G.8265.1 Profile) in Network Synchronization Guidelines before starting a configuration. Note:

Using packet-based frequency synchronization (G8265.1 Profile) excludes the usage of time synchronization.

The two example scripts configure a Packet Master and a Packet Slave node for PTP-based frequency synchronization using the G.8265.1 Telecom profile. In Packet Master mode, the node distributes the clock signal of the Network Frequency Synchronization function. In Packet Slave mode, the node recovers frequency information from the PTP packets and presents the recovered clock as a candidate towards the Frequency Synchronization function. In G.8265.1 profile, MINI-LINK TN operates as an Ordinary Clock and has one Clock Port configured over a transport VLAN, that is, SVLAN in provider mode, and CVLAN in customer bridge mode). This transport VLAN tag is configured with the vlancommand under the clock-port settings. In provider bridge mode, that is, when the VLAN refers to the SVLAN, an applicable CVLAN can also be specified for a given clock-port. The inner-tag command under the clock-port settings can be used to configure such CVLAN besides the SVLAN. For more details on Provider Bridge mode, see Technical Description, Reference [15]. The PTP messages are sent unicast with UDP/IPv4 over Ethernet encapsulation.

12

70/1543-HRA 901 20-V11 Uen H1 | 2016-03-03

Configuration and Operations Tasks

The interface/bridge port over which PTP packets enter or exit the node is not explicitly configured, but is determined by the VLAN topology and STP if applicable. Note:

3.1.1.4.1

Ensure that all member interfaces of the transport VLAN, over which the remote Packet Master or Slave is reachable, are PTP time stamping capable.

Configuring Packet Master This example script configures a Packet Master that distributes the frequency of its node clock to one or more Packet Slaves over PTP. The NE must be configured for synchronizing its frequency to a Layer1 Sync Source. See configuration examples in Section 3.1 on page 9.

! Configure the Master Node: ! (config)#ptp ! Remove all previous clock-ports: no clock-port no clock ! Set the priority values of the local clock: priority1 128 priority2 128 ! Configure clock to profile G.8265.1 and as Grand Master (GM): clock g82651 grandmaster ! Configure the PTP domain: domain 4 ! Configure Netsync function and add PTP-sync port: sync-port disabled network-synch-assistance enabled ! Set the link delay: interface 1/4/2 0 link-delay-compensation 1/4/2 0

! Create new clock port: clock-port pm1 ! Set IP address for the clock port: interface udpipv4 192.168.3.17 255.255.255.0 ! Configure the DSCP field in the IP header: dscp 46

3.1.1.4.2

Configuring Packet Slave The Packet Slave recovers the frequency of the Packet Master based on the rate of PTP packets. The recovered frequency is offered as a candidate to the Network Frequency Synchronization function through the so called PTP Sync Port. This example script configures a Packet Slave.

To synchronize the node to the PTP recovered frequency, add the PTP Sync Port as a Sync Source. See Section 3.1.2.1 on page 18 for more configuration options. ! Add PTP Sync Port as Sync Source. ! The name of the PTP Sync Port is 1//20, where is ! the slot position of the NPU. network-synch nominee 1/7/20

17

Configuring Network Synchronization

Note:

If Ethernet Switch Protection is turned on, a PTP Sync Port exists for each NPU. At any time, however, only the NPU with the active switch has its PTP Sync Port operational. Therefore, to protect the PTP recovered frequency, configure both PTP Sync Ports as Sync Source.

3.1.2

Managing Sync Sources

3.1.2.1

Adding a Sync Source This example script adds a sync source: Note:

There can be a maximum of four sync sources added to the NE. When using ETU3 or ETU2 B for Synchronous Ethernet and adding an interface as sync source, only the NS port can be added to the nominee list. For example, if 1/4/4 and 1/4/4 NS are available, only 1/4/4 NS can be added.

! In Global Configuration mode, select an interface as a sync source and enter ! the (config-synch-nominee) submode: ! (config)#[no] network-synch nominee ! This example selects E1 1/11/2B as a synch source: network-synch nominee 1/11/2B ! This example selects LAN 1/6/3 as a synch source for SyncE: network-synch nominee "1/6/3 NS" ! Set the priority for the synchronization source: ! (config-synch-nominee)#priority ! This example sets the priority to 2: priority 2 ! Assign a quality level to the sync source: ! (config-synch-nominee)#assigned-qlevel ! This example assigns the sync source the quality level PRC: assigned-qlevel 1 ! Set the holdoff time in 100 millisecond units: ! (config-synch-nominee)#[no] holdoff-time ! This example sets the holdoff time to 500 ms: holdoff-time 5 ! Assure that a synchronization input signal is stable ! before it is used: ! (config-synch-nominee)#wait-to-restore-time ! This example waits 10 seconds before using the ! synchronization input signal: wait-to-restore-time 10 ! Set whether the sync source should be excluded from the synchronization ! source selection process: ! (config-synch-nominee)#[no] lockout

3.2

Configuring Time Synchronization This section describes the configuration steps required to set up packet-based time synchronization with the IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) either in G.8275.1 or Default PTP profile. For a detailed overview of packet-based synchronization and PTP, see Network Synchronization Guidelines, Reference [10].

3.2.1

Prerequisites

3.2.1.1

Configuring Frequency Synchronization Time Synchronization function relies on a stable frequency signal provided by the Frequency Synchronization function. Therefore, first configure frequency synchronization locked to a PRC-traceable source over a Layer 1 (physical) interface. See Section 3.1 on page 9 for details.

3.2.1.2

Configuring ETU2 B or ETU3 for 1588 Operation Mode The following command enables PTP time stamping support on the LAN interfaces of an ETU2 B or ETU3 plug-in unit. Before configuring an ETU2 B or ETU3 to use the 1588 profile, ensure that all PDH-IMEs on the ETU are disconnected from the Ethernet service and have no E1s assigned. For information on how to configure PDH-IME, see Configuring Ethernet over PDH, Reference [4]. Note: •

The ETU performs a cold restart when its profile is changed, resulting in a short traffic disturbance on its LAN ports.

•

PDH-IME and 1588 capability profiles are mutually exclusive for a specific ETU board. However, ETUs in various capability profile (either PDH-IME or 1588) can co-exist in an NE.

! In Global Configuration mode, select the profile for ETU2 B or ETU3: ! (config)#etub profile { 1588 | pdhime } ! This example selects the IEEE 1588v2 profile for an ! ETU2 B or ETU3 in slot 1/4: etub profile 1588 4 3.2.1.3

Configuring Ethernet Traffic Settings An existing Ethernet configuration is necessary for packet based synchronization configurations, that is, the Ethernet configuration of the interfaces must be created first (including switch port/Layer1 connections,

24

70/1543-HRA 901 20-V11 Uen H1 | 2016-03-03

Configuration and Operations Tasks

VLAN assignments, and so on), before the packet based synchronization configuration is created. For information on how to configure Ethernet, see the Ethernet configuration documents.

3.2.2

Configuring PTP for Time Synchronization It is recommended to read about Time Synchronization Technologies in Network Synchronization Guidelines before starting a configuration.

3.2.2.1

Configuring PTP Protocol Settings and PTP Clock Ports Packet based time synchronization is supported in G.8275.1 profile or in Default PTP profile.

3.2.2.1.1

Configuring in G.8275.1 Profile MINI-LINK TN supports the Telecom Boundary Clock (T-BC) mode for phase/time sync using the G.8275.1 profile. In T-BC (boundary) mode, the NE can have multiple clock ports, each of which is explicitly assigned to a bridge port. PTP packets can be sent with or without VLAN tag, and with forwardable (01-1B-19-00-00-00) or non-forwardable (01-80-C2-00-00-0E) destination MAC address. Note: •

For PTP over LAG, the clock ports must be configured on individual LAG member ports. On each member port of a LAG, clock ports must have the same parameters. Best Master Clock (BMC) algorithm selects the link to be used by PTP messages.

•

The NE must be configured for synchronizing its frequency to a Layer 1 Sync Source. See configuration examples in Section 3.1 on page 9.

The following example script configures the NE as a T-BC with two clock ports: •

cp1: on bridge port 1 connected to LAN 1/4/2

•

cp2: on bridge port 2 connected to WAN 1/11/119

Both clock ports use the Ethernet multicast encapsulation for PTP messages and the BMC algorithm determines the role (master, slave, or passive) for the clock ports. See Figure 3.

Configuring in Default PTP Profile MINI-LINK TN supports the Boundary Clock (BC) and Transparent Clock (TC) modes for phase/time sync using the IEEE 1588v2 Default profile. In BC mode the NE can have multiple clock ports, each of which is explicitly assigned to a bridge port and a VLAN. Configuring Boundary Clock Note: •

The NE must be configured for synchronizing its frequency to a Layer 1 Sync Source. See configuration examples in Section 3.1 on page 9.

•

For PTP over LAG, the clock ports must be configured on individual LAG member ports. To protect the PTP communication it is recommended to configure a clock port on each member port of a LAG and clock ports must have the same parameters. Best Master Clock (BMC) algorithm selects the link to be used by PTP messages.

The following example script configures the NE as a BC with two clock ports: •

cp1: on bridge port 1 connected to LAN 1/4/2

•

cp2: on bridge port 2 connected to WAN 1/11/119

Both clock ports use the Ethernet multicast encapsulation for PTP messages and the BMC algorithm determines the role (master or slave) for the clock ports. !

Enabling PTP support on RL-IME (NPU3 C or NPU3 D) Note:

The configuration steps in this section are only required for RL-IME 102, 103, and 104 on NPU3 C and NPU3 D, if connected to an MMU2 D/H/K.

On NPU3 C and NPU3 D, for RL-IMEs 100 and 101 the system allocates timestamping capability automatically. For the single-link RL-IMEs 102, 103, and 104, the timestamping capability can be assigned manually as described in this section. Note:

The RL-IME must be assigned to a Packet Link and the corresponding WAN interface connected to a bridge port before PTP support can be enabled on it. For more information, see Configuring Native Ethernet, Reference [5]. Once PTP support is enabled, it is retained until the RL-IME is disconnected from the Packet Link. Use the following command to verify timestamping capability on a certain RL-IME group. The output of the command is given here as an example.

Specifies the frequency of the logging. Every nth sample is saved. The valid range is 1–1000.

SECONDS

Specifies the time duration for the logging in seconds. The valid range is 0–100000. The value 0 stops the logging.

The recorded samples are available in the local.log.cslog file generated by the Bug Reporting Tool within the tn_local_logs_*.tgz file. The maximum size of the log is 20000 timestamp pairs. The local.log.cslog file contains the timestamps in a compressed format as follows: The log is split into sections. Each section starts with a header row that contains absolute PTP time in seconds. Within each section, each row represents a PTP message (either SYNC or DELAY_RESP) and contains the following timestamp information: •

If Speed is changed from 1000 Mbit/s Full Duplex Master to 1000 Mbit/s Full Duplex Slave or from 100 Mbit/s Full Duplex Master to 100 Mbit/s Full Duplex Slave, or the other way around, it has to be done in two steps: first, select Disable and click the save icon, then select the new speed and click save. Enabling Flow Control on a Synchronous Ethernet port may disturb the sync function since PAUSE frames may cause SSM frames to be discarded. The sync function will recover automatically when SSM frame transmission is restored.

The two examples configure a Packet Master and a Packet Slave node for PTP-based frequency synchronization using the G.8265.1 Telecom profile. In Packet Master mode, the node distributes the clock signal of the Network Frequency Synchronization function. In Packet Slave mode, the node recovers frequency information from the PTP packets and presents the recovered clock as a candidate towards the Frequency Synchronization function. In G.8265.1 profile, MINI-LINK TN operates as an Ordinary Clock and has one Clock Port configured over a transport VLAN (that is, SVLAN in provider mode, and CVLAN in customer bridge mode). The PTP messages are sent unicast with UDP/IPv4 over Ethernet encapsulation. The interface/bridge port over which PTP packets enter or exit the node is not explicitly configured, but is determined by the VLAN topology and STP if applicable.

Note:

Ensure that all member interfaces of the transport VLAN, over which the remote Packet Master or Slave is reachable, are PTP time stamping capable.
