CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 238

Which of the following must be functioning properly in order for a network administrator to create an accurate timeline during a troubleshooting process?

Answer options

• A. NTP
• B. IP helper
• C. Syslog
• D. MySQL

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, NTP, as it ensures that all devices on the network have synchronized time, which is crucial for creating an accurate timeline during troubleshooting. Options B (IP helper) and D (MySQL) are not directly related to time synchronization, while C (Syslog) is important for logging events but relies on NTP for accurate timestamps.
