LPIC-1 Exam 102 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 34

Which option in the chrony configuration file changes the initial interval of polls to a NTP server in order to speed up the initial synchronization?

Answer options

• A. iburst
• B. quickstart
• C. fast
• D. fsync
• E. flood

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A. The 'iburst' option in the chrony configuration file is specifically designed to accelerate the initial synchronization process by increasing the frequency of the first few polls to a server. The other options do not serve this purpose; 'quickstart' and 'fast' are not valid options in this context, while 'fsync' and 'flood' pertain to different functionalities.
