Re: [Linuxptp-users] ptp4l summary_interval

Hi Jake,

The content of my configuration file:

[global]
verbose 0
summary_interval 6
[eth0]

Parses without error but the log file /var/volatile/log/messages:

It was an error on my part, I wasn't waiting long enough in comparison to 'ph2sys -u 6' it is much slower.

Thanks,

Hi Harold,

According to ptp4l.8 summary_interval is supported.... you have to use it in the configuration file. :)

Does this not appear to work for you?
