M4250 PTP jitter\Latency
Hi, Any suggestions on what may cause what appears to be jitter spikes with PTP specifically on the M4250? When using similar settings on a Cisco 9200L that is not PTP aware the jitter does not a...

As a follow up after contacting support I did as both they and you suggested. I moved everything to a single switch and a factory reset and used the AV UI menu with a template. The issue remained - but interestingly it wasn't there before apply the template. I disabled PTP residency time stamping - which I believe is the PTP transparent setting and bingo - the PTP graph is as smooth as can be and our xNode has almost 0 jitter on.
I moved this back to our custom configuration and just diabled PTP and it has the same results of correcting our jitter.
In case it helps future product development or other customers - we are using Telos Alliance xNodes to act as an arb PTP clock. Perhaps there is something in the clock being generate that isn't agreeing with the switch?
In any event glad this has been found before going on air - not sure exactly what is going on because we purchased these switches since they were PTP aware. Still glad we did as the other features are great.
I updated support and will see what they say - but this will be my last post here thanks for all your help and great webinar! It was the deciding factor in our purchase of 10+ switches

Hi kaboomcanuck
This is due to misconfiguration for sure...
Please send an email to ProAVDesign@netgear.com with your tech-support file (AV UI Diagnostics/Support Diagnostics) so that we can take a look.
Alternatively, please:
- Factory Default your M4250 switch
- Upgrade to the latest software M4250 Series | Fully Managed Switches | NETGEAR Support
- Only the AV User Interface, do not use the IT GUI
- If only one VLAN go to AV UI Configure/Network Profiles and edit the VLAN 1 in the table called List of configured profiles (use the 3 little dots on the right), and apply an Audio profile to all ports this way (Dante, or AES67, or QSYS) click Apply
- If separate VLANs, create a new Profile/VLAN selecting an Audio profile (Dante, AES67, or QSYS)
and report back to us
I hope this will help,
