GigaCore as AVB Grandmaster

GigaCore as AVB Grandmaster

Change priorities with CLI.

***************************************************************************************
The use of the CLI is, as always, at your own risk.

Access the CLI with an SSH client like Putty or Moba Xterm

Default Login : admin
there is no password by default (or the password set as in the web authentication)

***************************************************************************************

Enter the configuration mode :

  1.     # configure terminal


Change the settings of PtP Domain 0 :

  1.     (config)# ptp 0 gptp rootSystemPriority1 <0-255>

Where 0-255 is a requested priority
!!!!! 255 is lowest priority (NOT grandmaster capable) and 0 is highest!!!!!
After that you should replug at least one of the cables to trigger the BMCA.

To Save the configuration

  1.     (config)# exit
  2.     # copy running-config startup-config
