Configuring Network Clocking
This section describes network clocking configuration of the ATM switch router. Properly synchronized
network clocking is important in the transmission of constant bit rate (CBR) and variable bit rate real
time (VBR-RT) data. For an overview of network clocking and network clock configuration issues, refer
to the chapter “Network Clock Synchronization” in the Guide to ATM Technology.

Network Clocking Features
Different types of network clock sources are available on the ATM switch router, both internal and
external.

Configuring Network Clock Sources and Priorities (Catalyst 8540 MSR)
To configure the network clocking priorities and sources, use the following command in global
configuration mode:

Note
Specifying the keyword system with the network-clock-select command selects the route processor
reference clock (a stratum 4 clock source) or the network clock module (a stratum 3 clock source), if
present.
