Technical Tip: How to configure switch PTP settings and policies
Description
For communicating timing precision between two ends, PTP transparent clock mode can be enabled to measure and adjust for packet delay.
It is supported on the following FortiSwitch:
3032E, 3032D, 1048E, 5xxD series, 4xxE series, 424D, 224E, and 224D.
This article describes how o configure FortiSwitch PTP settings and policies.
Scope
For version 6.4.2 and above.
Solution
On the FortiGate which is managing the compatible FortiSwitch, switch controller PTP settings and policies can be configured per VDOM.
A PTP policy can also be selected for each FortiSwitch port.
To configure the switch controller PTP settings.
transparent-e2e: Enable end-to-end transparent clock.
transparent-p2p: Enable Peer-to-peer transparent clock.

To configure the switch controller PTP settings.
# config switch-controller ptp settingsdefault: Disable the PTP function (Default) packets are forwarded with no action .
set mode {default | transparent-e2e | transparent-p2p}
end
transparent-e2e: Enable end-to-end transparent clock.
transparent-p2p: Enable Peer-to-peer transparent clock.
To configure a switch controller PTP policy.
# config switch-controller ptp policyTo set the PTP policy on a switch port.
edit "default"
set status enable
next
end
# config switch-controller managed-switch
edit "S524D00000000000"
# config ports
edit "port1"
set ptp-policy default
next
end
