26-48 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide Chapter 26 Managing Mobile Transport Over Pseudowire (MToP) Networks Network Clock Service Overview Applying a Network Clock Service Overlay A service overlay allows you to isolate the parts of a network that are being used by a particular service. This information can then be used for troubleshooting. For example, the overlay can highlight configuration or design problems when bottlenecks occur and all the site interlinks use the same link. To apply a network clock overlay: Step 1In the Vision client, display the network map on which you want to apply an overlay. Step 2From the main toolbar, click Choose Overlay Type and choose Network Clock. The Select Network Clock Service Overlay dialog box is displayed. Step 3Do one of the following: Choose a search category, enter a search string, then click Go to narrow the search results to a range of network clock services or a specific network clock service. Search categories include: –Description –Name The search condition is “contains.” Search strings are case-insensitive. For example, if you choose the Name category and enter “net,” the Vision client displays VPNs “net” and “NET” in the names whether net appears at the beginning, middle, or at the end of the name: for example, Ethernet. Choose Show All to display all network clock services. Step 4Select the network clock service overlay that you want to apply to the map. The elements and links used by the selected network clock are highlighted in the map, and the overlay name is displayed in the title of the window. (See Figure 26-24.) ESMC Tx Whether ESMC is enabled for outgoing QL information on the interface: Enabled, Disabled, or NA (Not Available). ESMC Rx Whether ESMC is enabled for incoming QL information on the interface: Enabled, Disabled, or NA (Not Available). SSM Tx Whether SSM is enabled for outgoing QL information on the interface: Enabled, Disabled, or NA (Not Available). SSM Rx Whether SSM is enabled for incoming QL information on the interface: Enabled, Disabled, or NA (Not Available). Table 26-23 SyncE Properties (continued) Field Description

26-55 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide Chapter 26 Managing Mobile Transport Over Pseudowire (MToP) Networks Configuring Clock Configuring Clock With Ethernet equipment gradually replacing SONET and SDH equipment in service-provider networks, frequency synchronization is required to provide high-quality clock synchronization over Ethernet ports. SyncE and PTP are two widely used clock synchronization protocol used in ethernet based networks. Clocking configuration commands allows you to configure SyncE and PTP clock configuration on Cisco router. SyncE and PTP clocking configuration is predominantly used in RAN Backhaul (or MToP) network where TDM traffic carried from cell site router to central office via packet switched network. These commands can be launched from the logical inventory by right-clicking on Clock node. Your permissions determine whether you can run these commands (see Permissions for Vision Client NE-Related Operations, page B-4). To find out if a device supports these commands, see the Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 Supported Cisco VNEs. Clock SourceRight-click on SONET port and select Commands > SONET > ConfigureClock source of sent signal on SONET ports: internal—Controller will clock its sent data using internal clock. line—Controller will clock its sent data using the clock recovered from the line’s receive data stream. default—Cancels any clock source setting. TCA ThresholdTCA threshold: b1-tca—Threshold for B1 BER TCA, between 3-9 (default is 6). b2-tca—Threshold for B2 BER TCA, between 3-9 (default is 6). Bit error rate: Value from 3-9 (10 to the negative x), or default. Command Navigation Description

The clock with the highest priority is referred to as the master clock. All the other devices on the network synchronize their clocks with the master and are referred to as members. Constantly exchanged timing messages between master and members ensure continued synchronization. The PTP clock port commands are used to modify PTP on individual interfaces.
