Which support service is required to synchrony the time stamps in system logs from these devices?

The correct answer is B. Syslong. Syslog is the standard protocol used to collect and centralize timestamped log messages from network devices to a central log server. It enables administrators to correlate events across multiple devices using a single repository.

Why each option

Syslog is the standard protocol used to collect and centralize timestamped log messages from network devices to a central log server. It enables administrators to correlate events across multiple devices using a single repository.

ASNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for monitoring and managing network device status and performance metrics, not for collecting or centralizing system log messages.

BSyslongCorrect

Syslog is the dedicated service for forwarding system event messages - including their timestamps - from routers, switches, servers, and other devices to a centralized Syslog server. Aggregating logs via Syslog allows administrators to review and correlate timestamped events across the entire infrastructure from one location, which is the function described in the question.

CSMTP

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the protocol for transferring email between mail servers and has no role in collecting or managing system log data.

DDNS

DNS (Domain Name System) resolves hostnames to IP addresses and is entirely unrelated to log collection or timestamp management.
