[Linuxptp-users] Adding additional interfaces

[Ganesh Narayanan]

Hi,

I am trying linuxPTP and I have a question on adding addition interfaces.
Someone please clarify.

Currently I am running PTP as below. Now if I need to add one more
interface (say eth1) to the running PTP instance, what is the best way to
do it ? Do I need to restart the PTP ? I was wondering if there is a way
to pass the new interface to the currently running instance without
restarting the process.

ptp4l ­ -S -A -q -f /etc/linuxptp/ptp4l.conf -i eth0

I tried looking at archives first, but the archives are not accessible.

With pmc, I see only the below options for set.

{ "PRIORITY1", TLV_PRIORITY1, do_set_action },
{ "PRIORITY2", TLV_PRIORITY2, do_set_action },
{ "GRANDMASTER_SETTINGS_NP", TLV_GRANDMASTER_SETTINGS_NP, do_set_action },
{ "PORT_DATA_SET_NP", TLV_PORT_DATA_SET_NP, do_set_action },
Archives not accessible:

Error GMANE-03252: Something is wrong. Perhaps something didn't match a
group name. Perhaps something else.

Yes.

This isn't implemented, but I think it would be possible with some
work. However, I doubt that such a feature is worth the effort.
