A network administrator needs to ensure a Cisco router maintains accurate time by synchronizing with an external, trusted NTP server at the IP address 192.0.2.1. Which command should the administrator use to configure the router as an NTP client?
To configure a Cisco router to synchronize its clock with a specific Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, use the 'ntp server [ip-address]' command, where [ip-address] is the IP address of the NTP server. The 'ntp peer [ip-address]' command establishes a peer relationship for mutual time synchronization, which is different from a client-server setup. The 'ntp master' command makes the router act as an authoritative time source for other devices, not for synchronizing with an external server. The 'clock set' command manually sets the system clock but does not configure automatic synchronization with an external time source.
