Hello @knaik99,
Yes, you are correct. When you add NTP server details in a switch or router, it allows the device to synchronize its clock with the NTP server. This ensures that the switch/router maintains accurate time for various purposes, such as logging events, scheduling tasks, and coordinating with other devices in the network.
The NTP server acts as a time reference for the switch/router. It provides the correct time, which is then used by the device to set its own clock. By synchronizing with an NTP server, all the devices in a network can maintain consistent and accurate time across the network.
By using an NTP server, organizations can maintain consistent time across their network infrastructure, ensuring accurate logging, efficient network coordination, and adherence to security (certificate).
