Thanks for clarification.

I have now the follow up question. I want to sync two machines. One is VM -
Ubuntu on OpenStack (master)

vm:~$ sudo ptp4l -i eth0 -S -m
ptp4l[406888.738]: port 1: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INITIALIZE
ptp4l[406888.739]: port 0: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INITIALIZE
ptp4l[406896.225]: port 1: LISTENING to MASTER on
ANNOUNCE_RECEIPT_TIMEOUT_EXPIRES
ptp4l[406896.225]: selected best master clock fa163e.fffe.fdf714
ptp4l[406896.225]: assuming the grand master role

and as said before this is the right configuration.

On the other machine (slave) Ubuntu on Virtual Box.

VirtualBox:~$ sudo ptp4l -i enp0s3 -S -s -m
ptp4l[500.357]: port 1: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INITIALIZE
ptp4l[500.361]: port 0: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INITIALIZE
ptp4l[500.361]: port 1: link up
ptp4l[508.231]: selected best master clock 080027.fffe.8c7a6b
ptp4l[514.256]: selected best master clock 080027.fffe.8c7a6b
ptp4l[522.074]: selected best master clock 080027.fffe.8c7a6b
ptp4l[529.695]: selected best master clock 080027.fffe.8c7a6b

and here I am not sure if this configuration is right, bacasue it differs
from most outputs that I have already seen.

Thanks.
Tom
