Which configuration enables automatic time synchronization on the Citrix ADC?

• A. Enable NTP synchronization
• B. Add SNMP manager
• C. Add SNMP trap
• D. Configure an NTP monitor

Answer: (A)

Automatic time synchronization on the Citrix ADC is achieved by using NTP. NTP (Network Time Protocol) lets the appliance periodically contact configured time servers and adjust its system clock to match them. This keeps timestamps in logs, certificates, and events consistent, which is essential for troubleshooting and security. The other options don’t adjust the device clock: an SNMP manager or SNMP traps relate to monitoring and alerts, not time keeping; an NTP monitor checks whether an NTP service is reachable, but it doesn’t perform the clock synchronization itself. So enabling NTP synchronization is the configuration that keeps the ADC time automatic and accurate.
