many_instances.cfg

Many instances configurations are supported on SFN7000 and later series adapters.

Example using multiple types of sync module, plus multiple instances of the same type of sync module:

• Three PTP sync modules are instantiated using the sync_module option:
  • Each instance is allocated to a different PTP domain using the ptp_domain option.
  • All instances are configured to act as a PTP slave by using the ptp_mode option in the generic [ptp] section.
  • Any PTP traffic is transmitted using hybrid mode by using the ptp_network_mode option in the generic [ptp] section (see Hybrid Mode).
• A PPS sync module is instantiated using the sync_module option.
• An NTP sync module is instantiated using the sync_module option:
  • The key-id and key-value are set for authenticating with NTP using the ntp_key option.
• A Freerun sync module is instantiated using the sync_module option.
