Chapter 5: Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Commands

SET DATE TIME

Syntax

set date=dd-mm-yyyy time=hh:mm:ss

Parameter
date	Specifies the date for the switch in day-month-year
	format.
time	Specifies the hour, minute, and second for the switch’s
	time in 24-hour format.
Description

This command sets the date and time on the switch. You can use this command to set the switch’s date and time if you are not using an SNTP server. To view the current time, refer to SHOW TIME on page 79.

Note

The system’s date and time, when set with this command, are lost whenever you power cycle or reset the switch. To avoid having to reenter the date and time, you can configure the SNTP client software so that the switch automatically obtains this information from an SNTP server.

Example

The following command sets the switch’s date to March 11, 2004 and the time to 4:34 pm and 52 seconds:

set date=11-03-2004 time=16:34:52

The following command sets just the date to April 2, 2004:

set date=02-04-2004
