Description

An ACX configured for PTP mode under the chassis stanza:

  

set interfaces et-0/0/27 flexible-vlan-tagging

 

With PTP referencing port 0/0/27:

 

set protocols ptp clock-mode boundary

set protocols ptp profile-type g.8275.1.enh

set protocols ptp domain 4

set protocols ptp slave interface et-0/0/27.4094 unicast-mode transport ipv4

set protocols ptp slave interface et-0/0/27.4094 unicast-mode clock-source 10.55.249.163 local-ip-address 10.55.249.162

 

And, port 0/0/27 defined:

 

set interfaces et-0/0/27 native-vlan-id 666

set interfaces et-0/0/27 speed 1g

set interfaces et-0/0/27 mtu 9216

set interfaces et-0/0/27 unit 4094 vlan-id 4094

set interfaces et-0/0/27 unit 4094 family inet address 10.55.249.162/31

 

Is reporting an alarm tied to PTP and invalid port speed configuration as well as a report that PTP is not functional:

Solution

From the documentation:

 

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/interfaces-ethernet/topics/topic-map/port-speed-acx-routers.html

 

Or:

 

"If you configure Precision Time Protocol (PTP), port 27 is disabled."

 

So, 0/0/27 cannot be used when PTP is active. This limitation is also referenced on Pathfinder via the PortChecker application:
