Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:
Task 1:
Configure the hostname on router R1 as illustrated in the topology.
Task 2:
Set the clock manually to any time zone and time of your choice.
Task 3:
Configure R1 to access two NTP servers. Use any IP addresses you wish.
Task 4:
Verify your NTP configurations with the appropriate show commands.
Configuration and Verification
Task 1:
For reference information on configuring hostnames, please refer to earlier labs.
Task 2:

Task 3:
Some of these commands won’t work with Packet Tracer.

You can add another router and configure it as an NTP server with the command below:
R1(config)#ntp master ?
<1-15> Stratum number
