I doubt it's HW related. You can try software timestamping (-S) to
rule that out. In the ptp4l log there should be a message about the
remote clock. If there is only the local clock, ptp4l is not getting
the annoucement messages. That doesn't require any timestamping.
You can verify ptp4l is receiving messages from network with strace
like this:
strace -erecvmsg ptp4l -m -q -i eth0 -s
Thank you.
No joy on the software timestamping:
# ptp4l -i lan2 -s -S -m
ptp4l[961566.609]: port 1: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INIT_COMPLETE
ptp4l[961566.609]: port 0: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INIT_COMPLETE
ptp4l[961572.642]: selected local clock e43d1a.fffe.acab65 as best master
ptp4l[961579.274]: selected local clock e43d1a.fffe.acab65 as best master
ptp4l[961587.069]: selected local clock e43d1a.fffe.acab65 as best master
And for the strace, on the working Intel I can see lots of this with the
IP of our master:
recvmsg(14, {msg_name={sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(320),
sin_addr=inet_addr("IP_REDACTED")}, msg_namelen=128->16,
msg_iov=[{iov_base="\t\2\0006\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\354Fp\377\376\0\277\4\0\1\34\246"...,
iov_len=1500}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 54
But on the Broadcom I don't see any such message from the same IP. So
looks like ptp4l is not getting such annoucements as you suspected.
I've asked the networks team to check the switchport for Broadcom box is
set up the same as Intel box, which they have confirmed it is. Meanwhile
I've asked Meinberg for a bit of help/advice on the appliance config in
case it's something at that end.
