CCNA Training NTP Questions

This document provides an overview of Network Time Protocol (NTP) configuration and troubleshooting. It discusses how to configure a Cisco device as an NTP server or client, and how to use the show ntp status and show ntp associations commands to display time source statistics. It also addresses how to configure NTP authentication by defining authentication keys and setting the trusted key number.

Quick review of NTP

– NTP is designed to synchronize the time on a network. NTP runs over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP),
using port 123 as both the source and destination.
– An Authoritative NTP Server can distribute time even when it is not synchronized to an existing time server.
To configure a Cisco device as an Authoritative NTP Server, use the ntp master [stratum] command.
– To configure the local device to use a remote NTP clock source, use the command ntp server <IP address>.
For example: Router(config)#ntp server 192.168.1.1
– The ntp authenticate command is used to enable the NTP authentication feature (NTP authentication is
disabled by default).
– The ntp trusted-key command specifies one or more keys that a time source must provide in its NTP
packets in order for the device to synchronize to it. This command provides protection against accidentally
synchronizing the device to a time source that is not trusted.
– The ntp authentication-key defines the authentication keys. The device does not synchronize to a time
source unless the source has one of these authentication keys and the key number is specified by the ntp
trusted-key number command.
– Two most popular commands to display time sources statistics: show ntp status and show ntp associations

Question 1

Explanation

To configure a Cisco device as an Authoritative NTP Server, use the ntp master [stratum] command.

To configure a Cisco device as a NTP client, use the command ntp server <IP address>. For example:
Router(config)#ntp server 192.168.1.1. This command will instruct the router to query 192.168.1.1 for the time.

Question 2

Explanation

Below is the output of the “show ntp status” command. From this output we learn that R1 has a stratum of 10
and it is getting clock from 10.1.2.1.
R1#show ntp status
Clock is synchronized, stratum 10, reference is 10.1.2.1
nominal freq is 250.0000 Hz, actual freq is 249.9987 Hz, precision is 2**18
reference time is D5E492E9.98ACB4CF (13:00:25.596 CST Wed Sep 18 2013)
clock offset is 15.4356 msec, root delay is 52.17 msec
root dispersion is 67.61 msec, peer dispersion is 28.12 msec

Question 3

Explanation

To configure authentication, perform this task in privileged mode:

Step 1: Configure an authentication key pair for NTP and specify whether the key will be trusted or untrusted.
Step 2: Set the IP address of the NTP server and the public key.
Step 3: Enable NTP client mode.
Step 4: Enable NTP authentication.
Step 5: Verify the NTP configuration.

Note: A trusted NTP server may or may not require a secret key so it is not a “must” in this question.

@9tut
Hey,
Regarding question # 3, A and D That is the answer.
And in other dumps, the answer is D and E.
Is the answer to your questions well-tested?
