Re: [Linuxptp-users] How to disable "Delay Mechanim" of ptp4l Time follower / slave

[Nemo C. <nem...@gm...>]

There is a weirdly behaving switch in the network (This switch is time unaware as well) that forwards the peer delay request & pdelay delay response that is not intended for the time follower that I am trying to time synchronize.
I could stop pdelay request being sent from this time follower by using inhibit_delay_req and initial_delay option. But still, the ptp4l is not syncing as it receives pdelay messages through this switch. Is there a way to ignore any pdelay messages being received?

Thanks,
Nemo

There is the inhibit_delay_req option. It can be combined with the
initial_delay option to set the expected delay of the sync message.
