Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 446

Which service must be configured to provide time synchronization to the devices on a network to make it easier to correlate log events?

Answer options

• A. DHCP
• B. SNMP
• C. NAT
• D. NTP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is specifically designed for synchronizing clocks across devices in a network, which is crucial for accurate log event correlation. DHCP, SNMP, and NAT serve different purposes: DHCP assigns IP addresses, SNMP monitors network devices, and NAT translates IP addresses, none of which directly address time synchronization.
