Difficulty: EasyNTP Client and Server Operations and Configuration

A network administrator needs to configure a Cisco IOS router to synchronize its internal clock with an external centralized time source at IP address 192.168.10.50. Which Cisco IOS global configuration command must be used to accomplish this task?

  1. ntp server 192.168.10.50Answer
  2. B
    ntp master 192.168.10.50
  3. C
    clock set 192.168.10.50
  4. D
    ntp peer 192.168.10.50

Answer

The command 'ntp server 192.168.10.50' configures the router to act as an NTP client synchronizing from the specified NTP server.
The correct command is 'ntp server 192.168.10.50'. In Cisco IOS, entering 'ntp server' followed by an IP address configures the router to request time updates from that remote server.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the required NTP operational mode.
The router must act as an NTP client receiving time synchronization from a specified IP address.
The scenario specifies referencing a central time source at 192.168.10.50.
2
Select the appropriate Cisco IOS global configuration command syntax.
The command 'ntp server <ip-address>' establishes the client-server relationship.
'ntp server' is the dedicated Cisco IOS command for designated client NTP synchronization.
