200-301 · Question #709
Which command can you enter to verify that a router is synced with a configures time source?
The correct answer is E. show ntp associations. The show ntp associations command displays information about the router's configured NTP associations, including the status of synchronization with its configured time sources and their reachability. This command is crucial for verifying NTP sync status.

Why each option
The `show ntp associations` command displays information about the router's configured NTP associations, including the status of synchronization with its configured time sources and their reachability. This command is crucial for verifying NTP sync status.
`show ntp authenticate` displays NTP authentication status, not synchronization status.
`ntp associations` is not a valid command to display NTP association status; it's likely a partial or incorrect command.
`ntp server time` is not a standard command for checking NTP synchronization status.
`ntp authenticate` is a configuration command used to enable NTP authentication, not a show command to verify synchronization.
The `show ntp associations` command provides detailed information about the NTP peers and servers with which the router is attempting to synchronize, including their reachability, stratum, and whether synchronization has been achieved. The asterisk (*) next to a peer/server indicates successful synchronization.
