You can run ptp4l as a Boundary Clock on multiple interfaces at once, and you can freely mix and match profiles on the different ports. For example: ptp4l -m -q -i eth0 -i eth1 or in a configuration: [global] # ... [eth0] # eth0 options... [eth1] # eth1 options... The only thing I'm uncertain of is the Automotive Profile. Most of the configuration options are per-port, but you will probably not set the global option inhibit_delay_req. See the man page and/or config.c to learn which options are per-port.
