SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING MULTIPLE PTP PORTS OF A NETWORK DEVICE

A system and method for configuring a plurality of PTP ports of a network device including an input component and a processor is described. A group of PTP ports associated with a subset of PTP ports of the network device and the PTP region is identified. A set of PTP parameters corresponding to the group of PTP ports is received and applied to each port of a subset of PTP ports associated with the group of PTP ports. And performing time exchange on the PTP supporting equipment in the PTP area. A PTP network device comprising a first transparent clock, a second transparent clock, and a boundary clock is also described. The first transparent clock performs a time exchange within the first PTP region. The second transparent clock performs a time exchange within the second PTP region. The boundary clock performs a time exchange between the first PTP region and the second PTP region. 本发明描述了一种用于配置网络设备的多个PTP端口的系统和方法，该网络设备包括输入组件和处理器。识别与网络设备的PTP端口的子集和PTP区域相关联的PTP端口组。接收对应于PTP端口组的PTP参数集，并将其应用于与PTP端口组相关联的PTP端口的子集中的每个端口。对
