Question

Which NTP command configures the local devices as an NTP reference clock source?

Options

• ANTP Peer
• BNTP Broadcast
• CNTP Master
• DNTP Server

Explanation

This question asks for the NTP command that configures a local device as an authoritative time source.

Common mistakes.

• A. NTP Peer configures the device to synchronize its clock with another NTP server, not to be an authoritative source itself.
• B. NTP Broadcast enables sending NTP packets on a network segment but does not designate the device as an authoritative reference clock.
• D. NTP Server is used to specify a remote NTP server from which the local device will obtain time, not to make the local device a server.

Concept tested. NTP master clock configuration
