Switch B configuration
1. Enable SyncE on the switch.
SwitchB: configure terminal
SwitchB(config)# sync-e enable
2. Set the SyncE mode to QL-enabled.
SwitchB(config)# sync-e mode ql-enabled
3. Configure the synchronization network. The default value is 1, and it is a synchronization network that is designed for
Europe.
SwitchB(config)# sync-e ssm-network-option 1
4. Enable SyncE on the interfaces that are connected to the clock sources and interfaces transmitting to the neighboring
SyncE node.
SwitchB(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
SwitchB(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# sync-e enable
5. Enable the ESMC mode on the interfaces that are connected to the clock sources and interfaces transmitting ESMC to the
neighboring SyncE nodes.
SwitchB(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
SwitchB(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# sync-e esmc rx-tx
6. Verify the SyncE configuration.
SwitchB# show sync-e

Example - SyncE QL-disabled mode
In this example, SyncE is configured in the QL-disabled mode. In SyncE QL-disabled mode, QL value is not used for clock
selection. To select any specific synchronization clock source, you can configure interface-level priority. If the interface-level
priority is not configured, an arbitrary reference source from the available valid clock sources is selected.
Switch A is synchronized to the input clock source, SRC2 based on priority configured on Ethernet interface 1/1/2. This
synchronized clock frequency is used for further transmission from Ethernet interface 1/1/3 to Switch B, which also gets
synchronized to the trail of clock source, SRC2.
Switch A configuration
1. Enable SyncE on the switch.
SwitchA: configure terminal
SwitchA(config)# sync-e enable
