QuestionQ1059

IP Services

A network engineer is setting up a new router in a branch office. The router connects to an upstream WAN network that lets the branch communicate with the head office. The central time server, with IP address 172.24.54.8, is behind a firewall at the head office. Which command must the engineer configure to synchronize the new router’s software clock with the time server?

  • A ntp server 172.24.54.8
  • B ntp master 172.24.54.8
  • C ntp peer 172.24.54.8
  • D ntp client 172.24.54.8
Explanation

On Cisco IOS, ntp server <ip-address> configures the router to synchronize its software clock with the specified NTP time server. ntp master instead makes the router a time source for other devices, while an NTP peer is used for a peer association.
