[Linuxptp-users] Red Hat's Users Guide for linuxptp

[Richard C. <ric...@gm...>]

Dear linuxptp users,

I just stumbled across this nice documentation from RedHat.

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-Configuring_PTP_Using_ptp4l.html

A little of this is specific to RedHat, but most of it is applicable
to anyone using linuxptp. It is pretty well written, I think. (Maybe
we won't have to write a users manual after all ;)

Thanks,
Richard

And if you find any errors or have suggestions, feel free to speak up.
I can forward it to the people responsible for the docs.

I just stumbled across an omission. In the section

   21.8. Serving NTP Time With PTP

there is configuration example for ptp4l where phc2sys will be
adjusting the PTP clock (eth3 in the example).

In such a case, you also want to have the option "free_running 1",
just in case ptp4l should lose the best master clock algorithm.
Otherwise, ptp4l and phc2sys will both adjust the eth3 clock at the
same time.

Thanks,
Richard

Neat! :) Is this something we could link from the linuxptp website?
