ICX7150-48P and PTP

[aeg]

I believe that currently, ICX7150-24P and ICX7150-48PF support PTP transparent clock, ICX7150-48P does not.

1. Will PTP transparent clock capability be added to ICX7150-48P prior to end of software maintenance?

2. With current FastIron 08.0.95s, can PTP transparent clock be used on an ICX7150-24P that is in the same stack as an ICX7150-48P?

Hi aeg,

For now, PTP is only supported on the ICX7150-24 and ICX7150-C12P in 08.0.95. Support added for the ICX7150-24P, ICX7150-48PF, and ICX7150-C10ZP in 08.0.95C.

Thanks

Mayank

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have seen the releases and supported platforms table in the FastIron Management Configuration Guide. Will PTP transparent clock capability be added to ICX7150-48P prior to end of software maintenance? With current FastIron 08.0.95s, can PTP transparent clock be used on an ICX7150-24P that is in the same stack as an ICX7150-48P?

It would be nice to get an answer about the possibility of future PTP transparent clock capability on the ICX7150-48P from someone who has insight into future software development plans. (You can also interpret this as a signal that there is interest in this capability.)

It would also be nice to get an answer about whether PTP transparent clock be used on an ICX7150-24P that is in the same stack as an ICX7150-48P, from someone with knowledge about how the products operate. I don't have a support contract, so I can't open a ticket to ask this.

Of course, I understand that the support available through the community forum will not have the speed and quality available with a support contract. But it's disappointing that I haven't received an answer here that is responsive to the questions I asked.

8.0.95C in 2021 was the latest feature addition regarding PTP and the 7150-series, as this series is now no longer being sold I would not hold my breath for PTP on any model other than the mentioned devices above.
