DETAILED STEPS

 

 

Command or Action

Purpose

 

Step 1

 

 

 

configure

Enters global configuration mode.

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

 

 

 

RP/0/RP0/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/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# clock timezone

between the system time and UTC.

 

 

pst -8

Note The system time is the time that appears when you

 

 

 

 

 

 

enter 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/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# commit

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4

 

 

 

end

Ends the configuration session and returns to EXEC mode.

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

 

 

 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# end

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5

 

 

 

clock set hh:mm:ss dd mm yyyy

Sets the system software clock.

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

 

 

 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# clock set 14:12:00 10 feb

 

 

 

 

 

 

2004

 

 

 

 

 

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/RP0/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/RP0/CPU0:router# show clock
