S.No	Task	Using GigaVUE-FM, Refer to:	Using GigaVUE-OS CLI, Refer to:
1.	Select PTP as the time synchronization source leader in a bidirectional clock relationship (formerly master) for your device. Using PTP, you can synchronize distributed clocks with nanoseconds accuracy.	Configuring PTP Globally	“ptp” command section in the “GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide”
2.	After you enable PTP on the required network port, check the port’s PTP clock state, PTP configuration, and the synchronization status.	Viewing the PTP Configuration on a Port	“Related Commands” section under the “ptp” command section in the “GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide”
3.	Enable timestamp on the required ports. You can add timestamps to ingress or egress packets, or to both the packets.	Enabling Timestamp on a Port	“port” command section in the “GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide”
4.	View the PTP statistics for troubleshooting purposes.	Viewing PTP Details	“Related Commands” section under the “ptp” command section in the “GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide”
