Hello Dears,
I am new to PTP subject and its kind of hard to understand it, I am now working on configuring PTP so that my LTE sites will synchronize frequency, phase and time through my NCS 540 switch which runs IOS XR 7.0.1.
I have few questions:
1- For synchronizing frequency, do I need a physical device or something to be connected to the switch?
2- For the phase and TOD, do I need the GPS to be connected?
3- The switch has 10Mhz port, how can I check this port if its up or not?
4- For my scenario, which profiles shall I use? (G.8265.1 and G.8275.1/G.8275.2) together, or i can just ue G.8275.1/G.8275.2 in order to synchronize (frequency, phase and time) ?
5- on my switch when I type (sho ptp platform servo ) it shows (Servo status: Stopped) but on my ASR9K it shows below info, also the ASR configuration is not correct since the device status is (FREERUN):
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:-RO01#sho ptp platform servo

I do appreciate your help dears,
Thank you for your time.
