This has been discussed on GS several times. I still don't think there's
one definitive answer to this question.

I think your safest bet is to understand the issues involved and ask the
proctor.

Also, I would check which, if any, of the devices used in the lab support a
hardware clock. (Off-hand, I don't know about the new equipment being used.)

If a hardware clock is supported by a device, that means the time set will
survive a reboot. If the device in question will retain the time set after
a reboot, then definitely set the clock.

If the device doesn't support a hardware clock, if you have any question at
all, then ask the proctor. You shouldn't have to set the clock in my opinion
but don't take any chances. Even 2 points can be the difference between
pass and fail.

HTH, Tim

Guys,

I need an answer concerning the need to adjust the router clock in case
of time-based ACLs task or NTP task.

Do we have to adjust it or not in the lab??
