What is the purpose of the 'ntp source' command on a Dell networking device?

To enable NTP authentication on the device

To define the NTP server that the device will synchronize to

To set the time zone for the device

To specify the interface whose IP address will be used as the source for NTP packets

A Dell switch is configured with an NTP server, but 'show ntp status' shows 'unsynchronized'. The administrator checks 'show ntp associations' and sees the server is listed as '.INIT.'. The administrator also checks the firewall and confirms UDP port 123 is open. What should the administrator check next?

The NTP server's stratum to ensure it is lower than the switch's.

The switch's NTP configuration to ensure the server IP address is correct.

The switch's clock to see if it is already synchronized.

The NTP server's configuration to ensure it is not in broadcast mode.

A Dell switch is configured with an NTP server, but 'show ntp status' displays 'unsynchronized'. The administrator checks 'show ntp associations' and sees the server is listed as '.INIT.' What does this indicate?

The server's clock is not synchronized, so it cannot provide time.

The switch is configured in broadcast mode and is waiting for a broadcast.

The server is reachable but has a higher stratum than the switch.

The switch has not yet received a valid reply from the server.
