Enhancing System Performance Using Clock Synchronization and Web Caching in Oracle Solaris 11.3

How to Set Up an Interface as a PTP Master

1. Become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

2. Assign a system as the PTP master.

   # svccfg -s svc:/network/ptp:default setprop config/node_type=master

3. Enable an interface to listen to the PTP packets.

   # svccfg -s svc:/network/ptp:default setprop config/listen_ifname=interface-name

4. Determine whether the PTP service is enabled by using the svcs command.

   • If the PTP service is not enabled on the master system, enable it.

     # svcadm enable svc:/network/ptp:default

   • If the PTP service is already enabled, restart the PTP service.

     # svcadm restart svc:/network/ptp:default
