About Timing and Synchronization Documentation

Introducing the updated Timing and Synchronization Configuration on Cisco 8000 Series Routers, Cisco IOS XR Releases.

Release-agnostic Document

This document for the Cisco 8000 Series Router features a single version that will be consistently kept up to date with the latest features and releases. Our goal is to make it easier for you to bookmark a single link and find one comprehensive version of the Timing and Synchronization Configuration for the 8000 Series Routers, rather than sift through multiple versions that are specific to each IOS XR release.
