What is NTP
Network Time Protocol: NTP Server is a protocol that synchronizes the clocks of your network devices.
Correct network time within the network is important;
Connect time allows the tracking of events in the network in the correct order.
Clock synchronization is critical for the correct interpretation of events within the Syslog data.
Clock synchronization is critical for digital certificates.
To make sure all devices are synchronized with the same time information, we’ll configure our devices to receive the accurate time information from a centralized server.
Network Time Protocol NTP Server Configuration:
R1(config)#ntp server <NTP_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS>
R1(config)#ntp server 192.168.1.2
R1# show clock (before and after configuration NTP)
R1#show clock
to verify that we are receiving the correct time we use the command “show ntp status”
R1#show ntp status.
