Is there a way of setting up PTP with the current driver directly through ROS or is this only possible with as mentioned in here Lucid PTP Setup

It doesn't look like arena_camera_ros or camera_aravis support that setting, but you can use arv-tool from Aravis (also installable with apt as aravis-tools). I have used the following commands to enable and query ptp status on Lucid Triton cameras:

First, start a PTP server on the network or set one camera to be the PTP master with

arv-tool -n <camera name> control PtpSlaveOnly=false
arv-tool -n <camera name> control PtpEnable=true

Then, for each of the other cameras, run

arv-tool -n <camera name> control PtpSlaveOnly=true
arv-tool -n <camera name> control PtpEnable=true

To check the status, you can run

arv-tool -n <camera name> control PtpStatus
