I am trying to run ptpd on ESXi Hypervisor and I cant get it to work properly,

When I run the ptp service it keeps resetting:

tail -f /var/run/log/ptpd.stats
# Timestamp, State, Clock ID, One Way Delay, Offset From Master, Slave to Master, Master to Slave, Observed Drift, Last packet Received, Sequence ID, One Way Delay Mean, One Way Delay Std Dev, Offset From Master Mean, Offset From Master Std Dev, Observed Drift Mean, Observed Drift Std Dev, raw delayMS, raw delaySM

and it stays like this,

does anyone have any idea why its not working??
