2. Ensure that the PTP service is enabled.

   # svcs -l  svc:/network/ptp:default

3. Check whether any of the NICs support PTP.

   # dladm show-linkprop -p ptp

4. If a NIC is found, configure the PTP service to use the PTP hardware.

   # svccfg -s svc:/network/ptp:default setprop config/use_hw=true

5. Restart the PTP service.

   # svcadm restart svc:/network/ptp:default
