CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 612

An engineer is concerned about date and time synchronization across networked devices. Which of the following should be used to address this concern?

Answer options

• A. NTP
• B. SIP
• C. IMAP
• D. SMB

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is NTP, which stands for Network Time Protocol, and it is specifically designed for synchronizing clocks of networked devices. The other options, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), and SMB (Server Message Block), serve different purposes and do not deal with time synchronization.
