Time Synchronization with Network Time Protocols is a video-based course taught by Keith Bogart that explores how accurate timekeeping is achieved in modern networks using both Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP). The concepts and theory behind PTP and NTP are clearly explained, along with where and why PTP is used, how it differs from NTP, the configuration commands to implement PTP, and when each protocol is appropriate in real-world networks. Designed for learners pursuing the Cisco CCNP Enterprise certification, the course blends clear theory with practical Cisco IOS configuration examples, helping you understand why time synchronization matters for logging, troubleshooting, and network reliability. Each video lesson is paired with a short multiple-choice quiz to reinforce key concepts, and a hands-on lab allows you to configure and monitor NTP behavior in a realistic topology.
