Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS, legacy) — Question 71

Refer to the exhibit. Which statement about the device time is true?

Answer options

• A. The time is authoritative because the clock is in sync
• B. The time is authoritative, but the NTP process has lost contact with its servers
• C. The clock is out of sync
• D. NTP is configured incorrectly

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it indicates that the clock is synchronized and therefore considered authoritative. Option B suggests a loss of communication with NTP servers, which contradicts the authoritative status. Option C states the clock is out of sync, and option D claims incorrect NTP configuration, both of which do not support the notion of authoritative time.
