Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 996

Why would a log file contain a * next to the date?

Answer options

• A. The network device was receiving NTP time when the log messages were recorded.
• B. The network device was unable to reach the NTP server when the log messages were recorded.
• C. The network device is not configured to use NTP.
• D. The network device is not configured to use NTP time stamps for logging.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The presence of an asterisk next to the date in a log file signifies that the network device is not set up to utilize NTP. Options A and B imply NTP usage, which contradicts the asterisk's meaning, while option D suggests logging configuration issues rather than NTP configuration.
