A server equipped with an Enhanced PTP enabled adapter can use the sfptpmon script (supplied with version 3.7.0 onwards) to receive data from all monitored slave servers.

  1. Install the optional sfptpd-python3 package.

    SeeDownload and Install sfptpd.

  2. Get the help for sfptpmon to confirm that it is installed and available:
    # sfptpmon -h
    Usage: sfptpmon [options]
    
    Options:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -i INTF, --interface=INTF
                            default interface
      -l LADDRS, --listen=LADDRS
                            address[:port] on which to listen for messages
      -m MADDRS, --multicast=MADDRS
                            intf[:[=]address[:port]] on which to listen for
                            multicast messages
  3. Run sfptpmon, listening on the destination that you configured the monitored nodes to use. For example, to listen on port 10320:
    sfptpmon -l :10320
