Configuring Time
Use the clock set hh:mm [:ss] month day year command to manually set the clock on the appliance. Use
this command if no other time sources are available. The clock set command does not apply to the
following platforms, because they get their time from the adaptive security appliance in which they are
installed:
•
ASA 5500-X IPS SSP
•
ASA 5585-X IPS SSP
To manually set the clock on the appliance, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
Step 2
Set the clock manually.
sensor# clock set 13:21 Mar 29 2011
Note
The time format is 24-hour time.

Summertime is a term for daylight saving time.
Use the summertime-option recurring command to configure the sensor to switch to summertime
