forward PTPv2 packets X430-8p

I'm using X430-8p, and i saw it does not support PTP. So I just want the switch to forward PTP to all port without change. my setup is HUB like configuration. with the following command:
disable learning forward-packets port all
all packets i sent are forward except of the PTPv2 packets. what should I do?

Hi Amit,

If you can match the packet using ACL then "redirect-port-list" can be used as action modifier and can be sent out through intended ports.

This article has the outline on how to create and configure access lists.

I don't see a reason why the switch wouldn't forward the packets. Is this multicast or unicast PTP? Is there a reason you are disabling learning?

What software version are you running and what other configuration changes have been made?
