A method for locating a clock fault includes that a network device locates a clock fault source based on whether first frequency offsets between a plurality of input clocks and a local clock exceed a frequency offset threshold, or based on whether second frequency offsets between the input clocks exceed a relative frequency offset threshold.

A fiber link detection method is implemented by a first network device of an optical communications network. The fiber link detection method includes obtaining a forward delay value indicating a forward delay of transmitting a first Precision Time Protocol (PTP) packet by a second interface of a second network device to a first interface of the first network device over a fiber link. A reverse delay value indicating a reverse delay of transmitting a second PTP packet by the first interface to the second interface over the fiber link is obtained, and a determination is made, based on the forward delay value, the reverse delay value, and a first threshold, that the fiber link comprises a third network device, where the first network device and the second network device support a PTP, and where the third network device does not support the PTP.

A clock port attribute recovery method includes a network device setting a value of a port attribute of a clock port of the network device to a first value based on the clock port not receiving any one of three types of clock messages: N synchronization messages, follow-up messages, and delay response messages within a timeout interval, where the first value indicates that a message is lost on the clock port. Based on a case that a recovery condition is met, the network device sets the value of the port attribute of the clock port to a second value, where the second value indicates that a status of the clock port is that the message is not lost.

When a value of the first SSM code is less than a value of the second SSM code, the network device calibrates a frequency of the network device based on a timing signal of the first clock source.
