I find understanding how Linux networking really helpful in uunderstanding mikrotiks (which I use a lot in prod, although tend to shy away from for the most critical and demanding of services)

- gorkish 3y agoIIRC the half-width version of these switches are not advertised as having PTP support. I wouldn't have the first clue if it's straightforward to configure it to work with upstream linux but I do use PTP with Dell SmartFabric OS10 so there is likely some way to achieve it. As impressive as it is, switchdev is a big departure from "Linux networking" though. This is not a great platform if that is your main objective. The interfaces are not "normal" in that respect and huge subsystems of the Linux network stack do not apply.
