Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 194

An engineer must adjust the time on a Cisco ACI fabric. The implementation must use a single external time server and the APIC management interfaces for the communication. Which action accomplishes this goal?

Answer options

• A. Enable the Date and Time offset state in the system settings.
• B. Set the NTP provider minimum polling interval to 1.
• C. Set the NTP provider in default Date and Time policy.
• D. Create a contract in the management tenant to allow UDP port 123.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because setting the NTP provider in the default Date and Time policy ensures that the APIC uses the specified time server for synchronization. Option A does not directly set the time server, option B only modifies the polling interval without defining a server, and option D relates to allowing traffic but does not configure the NTP settings.
