Question 370
At the Ironwood training campus, fault records from R-IRN-RT1 and R-CLR-RT2 arrive at the same syslog collector but their timestamps differ by minutes, hiding causal order. Which underlying technical condition best accounts for this evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The evidence at the Ironwood training campus supports this condition: Unsynchronized device time makes otherwise collected logs unreliable for cross-device event correlation. The associated fix is: Synchronize network device clocks using approved time sources and include usable syslog timestamps.
Incorrect Answers
This diagnoses a different mechanism: Event-only syslog messages do not provide the periodic operational counter series requested. The reported symptom at the Ironwood training campus instead concerns syslog timestamp correlation.
That diagnosis belongs to dhcp declined conflicts, while the observation at the Ironwood training campus points to syslog timestamp correlation.
The observation at the Ironwood training campus does not point to ipv4 dhcp relay for remote server; it points to a different condition. Unsynchronized device time makes otherwise collected logs unreliable for cross-device event correlation.
