DETAILED STEPS

 

 

 

 

 

 

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure

Enters global configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure

 

 

Step 2

 

 

clock timezone zone hours-offset

Sets the time zone for the router clock.

 

 

The clock timezone command should be entered

 

Example:

before the clock is set because it defines the difference

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# clock timezone

between the system time and UTC.

 

pst -8

Note The system time is the time that appears when you

 

 

 

 

type the show clock command.

 

 

zone: Name of the time zone to be displayed when

 

 

standard time is in effect.

 

 

hours-offset: Difference in hours from UTC.

Step 3

 

 

commit

Commits the target configuration to the running

 

 

configuration.

 

Example:

 

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# commit

 

 

Step 4

 

 

end

Ends the configuration session and returns to EXEC mode.

 

Example:

 

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# end

 

 

Step 5

 

 

clock set hh:mm:ss dd mm yyyy

Sets the system software clock.

 

Example:

 

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# clock set 14:12:00 10

 

 

 

dec 2008

 

 

Step 6

 

 

clock update-calendar

Updates the hardware clock (calendar clock) with the new

 

 

clock settings.

 

Example:

The hardware clock is battery operated and runs

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# clock update-calendar

continuously, even if the router is powered off or

 

 

rebooted.

Step 7

 

 

show clock

Displays the clock setting.

 

 

Use this command to verify the settings.

 

Example:

 

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show clock

 

 

 

 

 

 

Examples

In the following example, the manual system clock is configured:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# clock timezone pst -8

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# commit

A9KMOD80TR, A9K24X10GETR, ASR 9000 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking technology, providing cutting-edge solutions for service providers and enterprise organizations alike. Among their standout products is the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, notably the A9K24X10GETR and the A9KMOD80TR models. These routers are engineered to deliver unmatched performance, scalability, and versatility for networks that require high bandwidth and low latency.

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is built for the needs of today's complex service provider and enterprise networks. A significant feature of the A9K24X10GETR is its 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet module. This functionality allows for high-density connectivity, making it ideal for aggregating numerous connections to different parts of a network while maintaining optimal performance. Whether used for Internet service providers delivering high-speed connectivity or for enterprises looking to connect multiple branches, the A9K24X10GETR provides robust and reliable data transmission.

Further enhancing the capabilities of the ASR 9000 is the A9KMOD80TR module, which supports an extensive range of services. This module is designed to run a variety of technologies, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), and IPv6. Its ability to integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructures while providing the advanced features customers demand makes it an invaluable asset for network engineering teams.

Another cutting-edge technology present in the ASR 9000 Series is its support for eBGP (External Border Gateway Protocol), which plays a critical role in managing traffic across multiple networks. The routers are equipped with advanced telemetry features, empowering operators with real-time insights into network performance and health. Additionally, they come with integrated security features that protect against DDoS threats and other vulnerabilities.

In summary, Cisco's ASR 9000 Series, particularly the A9K24X10GETR and A9KMOD80TR, combines high-density connections, extensive service support, and advanced security and telemetry capabilities. These routers are perfect for demanding environments where reliable performance and adaptability are crucial. With their focus on innovation and performance, Cisco continues to shape the future of networking technology.
