[question] Is there any collection role to configure the PTP transport method for an interface?

[leo8a]

I was checking on the list of Network Collection Roles for Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 for a role to configure the PTP transport method in an interface, but couldn't find much.

Is this feature ^^ available in this collection? If not, is there any ETA to get it included? Thanks!

Hi @leo8a, collection role is not supporting for PTP module. As of now no idea for ETA. But without collection roles, same thing can be achieved by CLI commands using OS10_Config module.

Pls find the enclosed working playbook using OS10_Config module and execution log for the same:
