An engineer requires the Cisco Fabric Services to distribute NTP configuration only to the members within the scope of a VSAN that belongs to a Cisco Unified Network. Which scope distribution must be selected to meet this requirement?
Correct Answer: A
Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) offers a logical scope distribution mode that allows configurations to be distributed within the scope of a VSAN. This mode is suitable for features like NTP, where the configuration database is applicable only within a VSAN. It ensures that changes are contained within the specific VSAN, preventing any impact on other VSANs in the network.

* Cisco's official documentation on Configuring and Managing VSANs1 provides a detailed explanation of VSANs, their advantages, and how they can be managed using CFS.
* The Cisco Fabric Services guide2 further elaborates on the features of CFS, including the logical scope distribution mode and its relevance to features like NTP.
* Community discussions on NTP configuration3 can also provide practical insights into the application of these settings in real-world scenarios.
