Chapter 9 Switch Operating Procedures
Managing NCDP Clock Sources
Note When the switch is configured for manual clock distribution, the only parameter that is useful in the
dspncdp display is the Distribution Mode.
Table 9-16 describes the objects displayed by the dspncdp command.
Table 9-16 dspncdp Command Objects
Parameter Description
Distribution Mode Current enabled method of clock distribution. If the method chosen is
manual, NCDP is turned off, and vice-versa.
Node stratum level Stratum level of the clock source. Possible levels are 1, 2E, 2, 3E, 3,
4E, or 4.
Max network diameter Maximum network diameter measured in hops.
Hello time interval Time interval between each configuration pdu sent out by a node to
advertise the best clock source in the network. This time interval is
specified in milliseconds in the display.
Holddown time interval Number of milliseconds the switch waits before it transmits the next
configuration PDU.
Topology change time
interval
Time interval for which the topology change detection field in the
configuration pdu bit will be set. Having the topology change
detection option set informs the recipient node that it needs to transmit
configuration pdus out to advertise to its neighbors about recent
topology or root clock changes.
Root Clock Source Clock port from which the node is deriving the clock signal. 255.255
means the node is deriving the clock source from an internal oscillator.
Root Clock Source Reason The reason for the most recent change of a source of network clock.
For a detailed description of the reasons a clock source can change,
refer to Table 2-12 in the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM45/PXM1E), Cisco
MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880 Command
Reference, Release 5.
Root Clock Source Status Status of the network’s root clock source.
Root Stratum Level Stratum level of the network’s root clock source. Possible levels are 1,
2E, 2, 3E, 3, 4E, or 4.
Root Priority Priority of the network’s root clock source.
Secondary Clock Source Secondary clock port from which the node is deriving the clock signal.
255.255 means the node is deriving the clock source from an internal
oscillator.
Secondary Clock Source
Reason
The reason for the most recent change of the secondary network clock
source. For a detailed description of the reasons a clock source can
change, refer to Table 2-12 in the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM45/PXM1E),
Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880 Command
Reference, Release 5.
Secondary Clock Source
Status
Status of the network’s secondary clock source.
