Yes and no.

The range of choices for these two parameters is determined by the
profile.  For any PTP network, all of the nodes must use the profile
and the same particular values in order to ensure the correct
operation of BMC algorithm.  The 'master' and 'slave' roles are not
static on a given port, but rather they can change depending on the
outcome of the BMC election.

Refering to IEEE 1588 might help clarify these and other points for
you.  Also, take a look at the telecom profile.
