No IEEE 802.1AS Capable on Summit X440-24t switch

No IEEE 802.1AS Capable on Summit X440-24t switch

Dear Experts,

I have a Summit X440-24t AVB switch with AVB enabled. I am connecting an AVB endpoint to the switch, which is running gPTP. The switch reports that the port is not "IEEE 802.1AS Capable" when I run the "show network-clock gptp" command. The propagation delay is being measured and it is below the threshold (4000ns, threshold is 10000ns). The connected AVB endpoint is sending gPTP announce messages. What are the possible reasons that "IEEE 802.1AS Capable" is set to "No" and "Port Role" is set to "3 (Disabled)"?

Thank you,
Jakub Mielczarek

I had to suspend work on this topic for a while. I am back at it. It still does not work with media converter and my gptp endpoint.

Here is the output from switch console:

Any help highly appreciated.

It works after fixing timestamp conversion in my endpoint. The Neighbor Rate Ratio could be the cause. Now the rate ratio is 0.999989

did you ever get it working - I am having a similar issue

Thanks!

Hi,

Not yet, I was on vacation the last week. Will try to figure it out.

Thanks,
