CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 120

An organization is currently deploying a private cloud model. All devices should receive the time from the local environment with the least administrative effort.
Which of the following ports needs to be opened to fulfill this requirement?

Answer options

• A. 53
• B. 67
• C. 123
• D. 161

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as port 123 is used for the Network Time Protocol (NTP), which allows devices to synchronize their clocks. The other options are incorrect because port 53 is used for DNS queries, port 67 is for DHCP server communications, and port 161 is for SNMP management, none of which are related to time synchronization.
