You have been asked to troubleshoot the NTP configuration of a router named R70. After executing the show run command, you receive the following partial output of the command that shows the configuration relevant to NTP:

• 300-410 : All Parts

Explanation:
The router will send NTP broadcast on its E0/0 interface. The command ntp broadcast, when executed under an interface, instructs the router to send NTP broadcast packets on the interface. Any devices on the network that are set with the ntp broadcast client command on any interface will be listening for these NTP broadcasts. While the clients will not respond in any way, they will use the information in the NTP broadcast packets to synchronize their clocks with the information.

The time zone is not set to 8 hours less than Pacific Standard Time. The value -8 in the command clock timezone PST -8 is the amount of hours offset from UTC time, not from the time zone stated in the command.

The router will not listen for NTP broadcasts on the interface E0/0. The ntp broadcast command, when executed under an interface, instructs the router to send NTP broadcast packets on the interface. To set the interface to listen and use NTP broadcasts, you would execute the ntp broadcast client command on the interface.

The router will not periodically update its software clock. The command ntp update-calendar configures the system to update its hardware clock from the software clock at periodic intervals.
