What could be the problem?

Your customer reports that the time on the standby cluster member is not correct. After failing over and making it active, the time is now correct. NTP has been configured on both machines, so it is expected that both machines be in sync with the NTP server. Upon investigating, it was found that the standby member was never able to communicate with the NTP server while it was in standby configuration. What could be the problem?
A. You should be syncing your backup to the primary for time settings.
B. NTP is not supported in active-passive mode.
C. Traffic from the standby member was hidden behind the cluster IP address and was therefore returning to the active member.
D. Routing prevents the standby member from performing functions such as peering with dynamic routing and obtaining NTP updates.

  1. C

    actually this happens if you configure the management traffic with Cluster IP. you can configure Management interface without Cluster IP. so the NTP can directly go to each member.
