Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 65

Which NTP Stratum level is a server that is connected directly to an authoritative time source?

Answer options

• A. Stratum 0
• B. Stratum 1
• C. Stratum 14
• D. Stratum 15

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Stratum 1, as it denotes a server that gets its time directly from a primary time source. Stratum 0 refers to reference clocks and not servers; Stratum 14 and 15 are higher levels which indicate servers that are further away from the authoritative time source.
