I now have a 88E6352 to test your series on.  Unfortunately, it
doesn't really work. Here is what I did.

1. Gave one of the external switch ports an address (ifconfig ext0
   192.168.1.111)

2. Ran ptp4l with option 'free_running 1'.

When I run with Layer2 transport and the switch as master, it seems to
work.  Any other combination of role + transport fails.

| Switch Role | Tranport | Result                                         |
|-------------+----------+------------------------------------------------|
| master      | UDPv4    | no Delay_Resp appear at slave                  |
| master      | UDPv6    | no Delay_Resp appear at slave                  |
| master      | layer2   | seems okay                                     |
| slave       | layer2   | Announce messages not getting through to host? |

Have you tested any of this?

Do I need some special switch configuration first?

 
Thanks,
Richard
