PTP: Clock clients: Manual client

A clock client is the remote PTP host, which receives time from the PTP primary and is in a client relationship to the primary. The maximum number of configured clock clients is 512. The clock client is included in the configuration of the primary clock. Three different types of downstream clients are supported. You can configure any combination of these three types of clients for a given primary. When you configure a manual client, the client immediately receives announce and synchronization packets. To configure a manual client, include the manual statement at the [edit protocols ptp master interface interface-name unicast-mode clock-client ip-address local-ip-address local-ip-address] hierarchy level.
