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.
Routing prevents the standby member from performing functions such as peering with
dynamic routing and obtaining NTP updates.

B.
You should be syncing your backup to the primary for time settings.

C.
NTP is not supported in active-passive mode.

D.
Traffic from the standby member was hidden behind the cluster IP address and was
therefore returning to the active member.
