NTP

a) Why NTP is better than internal hardware and manual configuration?

b) A device can be NTP server or NTP client? How?
c) What is the NTP accuracy for a server located in the same LAN, and the server
located in the different LAN?
d) What is the Distance of an NTP server from the reference clock(NTP unit) ?
e) Which protocol and port number NTP uses?
f) Define the stratum range.
g) What is symmetric active mode?

Use the following network and fulfill the tasks:

ROUTING HAS BEEN PRECONFIGURED

(default route on R1, OSPF on all routers with 'network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 0')
1) Configure the software clock on R1, R2, and R3 to 12:00:00 Oct 16 2022 (AST).
2) Configure the time zone of R1, R2, and R3 to match your own.
3) Configure R1 to synchronize to NTP server 1.1.1.1 over the Internet.
4) What stratum is 1.1.1.1? What stratum is R1?
5) Configure R1 as a stratum 8 NTP master.
6) Synchronize R2 and R3 to R1 with authentication.
7) Compare between stratum shown in show ntp association and show ntp status.
