Chapter 4 Configuring the Cisco 3825 Mobile Wireless Edge Router in a RAN-O Solution with the Command-Line

Clocking Requirements for Cisco 3825 Router

Clock Source Command

The clock source command configures the source for synchronization of the interface transmit clock. Configure clock source line if the router is deriving its clock externally from the connected device.

Configure clock source internal if the router provides the master clock (for example, either the internal clock or the network clock).

The show network-clockscommand allows verification of the clocking configuration.

1.The BSC provides clock synchronization to the MWR_A router.

2.The MWR_A router receives clock from the BSC via port 0/1/0 and distributes to port 0/0/0.

3.The MWR_B router receives clock from the MWR_A router via port 0/0/0 and distributes to port 0/1/0.

4.The Base Transceiver STATION (BTS) receives clock synchronization from the MWR_B router.

5.The clock synchronization from the BSC is propagated through the network to the BTS.
