Which command sets the primary NTP server to pool.ntp.org?

• A. /system ntp client set primary-ntp=pool.ntp.org
• B. /system ntp client set primary-ntp=ntp.pool.org
• C. /system ntp client enable=yes
• D. /system ntp client set primary-ntp=pool.ntp.org; /system clock print

Answer: (C)

To synchronize time, the NTP client must know which server to query. In MikroTik RouterOS, you set that server by configuring the primary NTP server address. The command to assign pool.ntp.org as the primary time server is the one that includes set primary-ntp=pool.ntp.org. This establishes pool.ntp.org as the server the device will use for time data. After you’ve configured the server, you also need to enable the NTP client so it actually starts querying time from the configured server. That separate command enables the client, but by itself it doesn’t specify which server to use. So for the task of setting the primary NTP server, the key step is configuring primary-ntp to pool.ntp.org, and then you would typically enable the NTP client to begin synchronization.
