Configuring a Service Package to be Used in Conjunction with PTP

On ACX1100 routers, you can configure a service package on the router for the RFC 2544-based benchmarking test, or for NAT and IPsec applications. When you configure the service package for the RFC 2544-based benchmarking test or for the NAT and IPsec applications, a reboot of the Forwarding Engine Board (FEB) occurs to apply the service package selection. By default, the service package for RFC 2544 benchmarking test is selected. The selection of a service package is needed on ACX1100 routers when you configure such routers for IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) because both RFC 2544-based benchmarking tests and a combination of NAT and IPsec protocols are not supported simultaneously; you can configure only PTP and RFC 2544-based tests, or PTP and the combination of NAT and IPsec at a point in time.

You need to specify the service package to be RFC 2544-based or NAT and IPsec-based only for ACX1100-AC routers. The selection of a service package is not needed on ACX Series routers other than the ACX1100-AC and ACX500 routers because on such routers, only the RFC 2544-based benchmarking tests are supported; NAT and IPsec applications are not supported on those routers.

To configure the RFC 2544-based service package on a particular FPC, include the service-package bundle-rfc2544 statement at the [edit chassis fpc slot-number] hierarchy level.

To configure the NAT and IPsec applications service package on a particular FPC, include the service-package bundle-nat-ipsec statement at the [edit chassis fpc slot-number] hierarchy level.
