many_instances.cfg - UG1602

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.
• An NTP sync module is instantiated using the sync_module option.
• A Chronyd sync module is instantiated using the sync_module option.
• A PPS sync module is instantiated using the sync_module option.
• A Freerun sync module is instantiated using the sync_module option.
• It logs messages via syslog, and stats via stdout:

  [general]
  message_log stderr
  stats_log stdout

• It does not attempt using hardware timestamps on non-Solarflare hardware:

  [general]
  non_solarflare_nics off
