Compare NTP client · NTP server · NTP stratum · NTP source interface
Concept notes
NTP client
Adjusts its clock using time learned from an upstream source.
NTP server
Provides synchronized time information to downstream clients.
NTP stratum
Indicates a time source's logical distance from a reference clock.
NTP source interface
Selects the local address used for outgoing time packets.
Review the concept notes, then answer four related questions. That is enough for today; more practice is optional.
Practice the reasoning here
Write or inspect a small Cisco configuration, name the expected show-command evidence, and explain how a frame or packet crosses it.
- State the expected result before changing or testing anything.
- Name the observation, command, log, or report that would confirm it.
- Explain why the closest alternative does not fit the same requirement.
Check the whole objective
This unlocks objective 4.2 for recall. The latest checkpoint needs 70% or higher; a lower result puts the lesson back near the front of your timeline.
