   An administrator has configured NTP on a Dell switch and wants to verify that the switch is using the correct time source. The 'show ntp status' command shows 'Clock is synchronized, stratum 4'. The administrator expected the switch to synchronize to a stratum 2 server. What is the most likely reason for the discrepancy?

   • AThe switch is configured with the wrong NTP server
   • BThe stratum 2 server is unreachable, and the switch is synchronizing to a stratum 3 server
   • CThe NTP server is configured with the 'prefer' keyword
   • DThe switch's clock is not synchronized

   A Dell switch is configured with NTP server 192.168.1.1. The administrator wants to ensure that the switch can synchronize with the server even if the management interface goes down. The switch has multiple interfaces, and the NTP server is reachable via the 10.0.0.0/24 network. What should the administrator configure?

   • Aip route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 10.0.0.254
   • Bntp server 192.168.1.1 prefer
   • Cntp source 10.0.0.1
   • Dntp interface 10.0.0.1
