NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – BlueXP — Question 23

While installing a new AFF A400 HA pair, you are unable to add an NTP server from another subnet. You are able to ping the NTP server from the new cluster.
In this scenario, what are two causes of this problem? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The admin SVM has the wrong gateway.
• B. A firewall is blocking port 123.
• C. The time skew is too great.
• D. The cluster management LIF needs to be in a different IPspace.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answer is A and D because if the admin SVM has an incorrect gateway, it cannot reach the NTP server in another subnet. Additionally, if the cluster management LIF is not in the correct IPspace, it may not be able to communicate with the NTP server as required. Options B and C are not relevant as they do not directly address the inability to add an NTP server from a different subnet.
