Configure PTP Transparent Clock mode for managed FortiSwitch devices 6.4.2
For communicating timing precision between two ends, PTP Transparent Clock mode can be enabled to measure and adjust for packet delay. It is supported on the following FortiSwitch models: 3032E, 3032D, 1048E, 5xxD series, 4xxE series, 424D, 224E, and 224D.
On the FortiGate that is managing the compatible FortiSwitch, switch controller PTP settings and policies can be configured per VDOM. A PTP policy can also be selected for each FortiSwitch port.
To configure the switch controller PTP settings:
config switch-controller ptp settings set mode {default | transparent-e2e | transparent-p2p} end
default |
Disable the PTP function (default). Packets are forwarded with no action. |
transparent-e2e |
Enable end-to-end transparent clock. |
transparent-p2p |
Enable peer-to-peer transparent clock. |
To configure a switch controller PTP policy:
config switch-controller ptp policy edit "default" set status enable next end
To set the PTP policy on a switch port:
config switch-controller managed-switch edit "S524D00000000000" config ports edit "port1" set ptp-policy default next end next end
