How many devices are you running ptp4l on? 2? 3? If only 2, it seems like you
have an extra instance of ptp4l on the network somehow,
ptp4l[1186.939]: port 2: new foreign master 003053.fffe.20597e-1
ptp4l[1187.460]: port 1: new foreign master 003053.fffe.20597f-1
Not really sure what that is about.
The line “ptp4l[1204.949]: failed to step clock: Invalid argument” probably
indicates a driver bug since the clock step might be returning an error code as
if the feature was not supported....
Thanks,
Jake

Thanks for the reply
The "ptp4l -i enp6s0 -i enp7s0 -m -S" command indeed launches fine, but doesn't
provide the expected result:

etc.
I assume there might be something wrong with my PC or network config, but don't
know where to start. My linux kernel is 4.4.0-83-generic (I don't know if it
matters).

Can you tell us why you want "slave only" mode on the PC's second
interface?
> Can you please give me a hint on what is the proper way to do it?
Start one instance of ptp4l which uses both interfaces:
ptp4l -i enp6s0 -i enp7s0 -m -S
The master/slave port roles will be selected automatically using the
protocol.
HTH,
Richard
