How do you check the current time synchronization status with NTP?

• A. /system ntp client enable
• B. /system ntp client status
• C. /system ntp client print or /system clock print to verify time
• D. /system clock set

Answer: (C)

To check time synchronization, you want to see what the NTP client is doing and what time the system has. In MikroTik RouterOS, you can quickly verify this by printing the NTP client status; it shows whether the client is enabled, which NTP servers are in use, and whether it is currently synchronized. For an extra check, you can print the system clock to see the actual time the device is reporting. Together, these commands confirm both the synchronization status and the current time. Enabling the NTP client or setting the clock are actions, not checks, which is why they don’t directly answer the question about current synchronization status.
