Frequently Asked Questions
What is high precision timestamping used for?
High precision timestamping is essential for financial trading systems, telecommunications networks, power grid synchronization, and any application requiring accurate temporal correlation across distributed systems. The Cisco Nexus 3550-F Fusion HPT enables sub-microsecond accuracy for these critical use cases.
How long is the software subscription valid?
This software subscription provides 7 years of continuous licensing for the high precision timestamping feature on your Cisco Nexus 3550-F Fusion switch, ensuring long-term timing capability without renewal concerns.
Does this require additional hardware?
No. The Cisco Nexus 3550-F Fusion High Precision Timestamping software subscription activates timing capabilities on your existing Nexus 3550-F hardware through software licensing alone.
What protocols does this support?
The high precision timestamping feature supports IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), the industry standard for network timing synchronization in enterprise and service provider environments.
