For PTP time retrieval, the PTP grandmaster clock identity is shown. This is usually an EUI-64 address. The first and last set of octets of the identity represent the (EUI-48) MAC address of the grandmaster. | For PTP time retrieval, the PTP grandmaster clock identity is shown.

The following settings are possible for PTP and should match the settings of the PTP grandmaster: | |||
* Delay mechanism: Use end-to-end (E2E), peer-to-peer (P2P) or automatic delay measurement. In case automatic measurement is selected, E2E is used at the beginning and switched to P2P when a peer delay request is received. Default is '''Auto'''. | * Delay mechanism: Use end-to-end (E2E), peer-to-peer (P2P) or automatic delay measurement.
