Exam 350-801 topic 1 question 64 discussion

I am not agree with ciscogeek's answer, and the correct answer is D. If you look at the exhibit on the "utils ntp status", it shows two original servers installed. And if you ready the question carefully, there is a "," after "original,", which means, from two original NTP servers, only single NTP server needs to be delete. So you can delete a single NTP server from the two listed NTP servers. However, even if there is only one server, you can’t enable authentication for the new NTP server, you need first add it, then enable it with command “utils ntp auth symmetric-key enable” which you get prompt to select for enable the authentication for the listed servers: admin:utils ntp auth symmetric-key enable At the end, nothing in the question mentioned about NTP authentication, as you can see authentication report with the following command: admin:utils ntp auth symmetric-key status

A. is incorrect. You do no need to stop the NTP service. B. is incorrect, it is optional. C. is partially correct, it is not the first step, rather it is after of remove the original NTP server. D. is correct. Just remove the actual NTP server.

Just C

Still in doubt but I would agree with Piji. Q says there was a single original NTP server and we see 2 of them. That means the new one has already been configured and you need to Delete the original one. Or am I seeing this wrong? What makes it more confusing is that the Q asks "what is the first step". Hope I don't get this one in my upcoming test.

Original, Single NTP Server cannot be deleted unless there are two or more NTP servers. Hence we need to add one NTP server, before being able to delete the available NTP server as question says a 'single' NTP server is currently available.
