Configuring Network Clock for Cisco ASR 901 Router

Cisco ASR 901 router supports time, phase and frequency awareness through ethernet networks; it also
enables clock selection and translation between the various clock frequencies.
If Cisco ASR 901 interoperates with devices that do not support synchronization, synchronization
features can be disabled or partially enabled to maintain backward compatibility.
The network clock can be configured in global configuration mode and interface configuration mode:
