While applying a new Citrix ADC device, a Citrix Administrator notices an issue with the time on the appliance. Which two steps can the administrator perform to automatically adjust the time?…

Question

Options

• AAdd an SNMP manager.
• BAdd an SNMP trap.
• CEnable NTP synchronization.
• DAdd an NTP server.
• EConfigure an NTP monitor.

• B
  6% (1)
• C
  89% (16)
• D
  6% (1)

Explanation

Note: The stated correct answer (C and E) appears to contain an error. Based on Citrix ADC documentation, the actual correct answers are C and D.

Enabling NTP synchronization (C) activates the time-sync mechanism on the Citrix ADC appliance, while adding an NTP server (D) provides the external time source the appliance communicates with - both steps are required for automatic time adjustment to function. Without adding an NTP server, there is no source to sync from; without enabling NTP synchronization, the configured server is never consulted.

Distractors:

• A (SNMP manager) and B (SNMP trap) relate to network monitoring and alerting, not time synchronization - SNMP has no role in clock management.
• E (Configure an NTP monitor) is not a standard Citrix ADC NTP configuration step; NTP monitors in ADC are used for load balancing health checks against NTP services, not for setting the appliance's own clock.

Memory tip: Think of NTP setup as two halves - what to sync with (add the server) and whether to sync (enable synchronization). If either half is missing, the clock stays wrong. SNMP = alerts, not clocks.
