Setting the date and time
Date and time are used for logging events. Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switch operation does not
depend on the date and time. A switch with an incorrect date and time value will function properly.
To set the date and time using the CLI:
1. If you have not already done so, connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the time and date command using the following syntax:
switch# clock set <HH:MM:SS> <DD> <Month in words> <YYYY>
where:
• HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
• MM is minutes; val id values are 00 through 59.
• SS is seconds; valid values are 00 through 59.
• DD is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
• YYYY is the year; valid values are 2000 through 2030.
For example:
switch# clock set 15:58:09 23 September 2002
HH represents hours in military format (15 for 3 p.m.), MM is minutes (58), SS is seconds (09), DD
is the date (23), Month is the month in words (September), and YYYY is the year (2002).
For details about changing time zones, see the clock command in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI
Configuration Guide.
Verifying Installed Licenses
To determine the type of licensing included with your Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switch, type show
license usage at the command prompt using the following syntax:
switch# show license usage
