Setting the Time and Date

To set the time and date on your system, use:

SET -SYS DATE = YY/MM/DD HH:MM[:ss]

For example, to set the date and time to January 10, 1995, 9:40 a.m., enter:

SET -SYS DATE = 1995/1/10 09:40

The NETBuilder II bridge/router contains a real-time clock, so you do not need to set the date after each reboot to keep it correct.

For more information on these parameters, see Reference for Enterprise OS Software. Proceed to the next section to enter system administrator information.

2Specify the system location, using:

SETDefault -SYS SysLOCation = “<string>”

For example, to set the system location as “SecondFloor.Lab,” enter:

SETDefault -SYS SysLOCation = “SecondFloor.Lab”
