102-500 Exam - Question 72


Which of the following situations is observed and corrected by an NTP client?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: E

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used by a client to synchronize its system clock with a reference clock, typically provided by a server. This process involves correcting the skew (difference) between the system clock and the reference clock to ensure the client's time is accurate and consistent with the network time. Therefore, NTP clients do not concern themselves with hardware clocks, time zones, or daylight saving adjustments but focus solely on aligning the system clock with the reference clock time.

"ntpd will allow a machine to not only be a time consumer (that is, able to sync its own clock from an outside source)," https://learning.lpi.org/en/learning-materials/102-500/108/108.1/108.1_02/#:~:text=ntpd%20will%20allow%20a%20machine%20to%20not%20only%20be%20a%20time%20consumer%20(that%20is%2C%20able%20to%20sync%20its%20own%20clock%20from%20an%20outside%20source)%2C

Sorry, you're wrong. NTP uses UTC as its time source, which has no Daylight Savings Time period. If you have NTP time servers, you do not need to do anything to them. What you need to do is adjust the time on your computer system (manually), if you do not already have it set to change the time automatically. Take a look at the reference: https://www.galsys.co.uk/news/just-ntp-time-servers-deal-daylight-savings-time-changeovers/#:~:text=NTP%20uses%20UTC%20as%20its,to%20change%20the%20time%20automatically.
