A network administrator is configuring a network device to ensure that its time settings are synchronized with the rest of the network devices across multiple locations to maintain consistent timestamps for logs and operations. Which protocol should be used to achieve accurate time synchronization?
NTP
NTS
PTP
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize the clocks of computers to one another within a few milliseconds of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It is essential for maintaining accurate timekeeping across all network devices, which is critical for activities depending on precise timing such as logging and transaction timestamping. PTP (Precision Time Protocol), while also used for time synchronization, is typically employed in industries requiring extremely high precision timekeeping, like telecommunications and finance, which might be overkill for standard network operations. NTS (Network Time Security) is actually a security protocol intended to provide authentication for NTP.
