Configuring Date and Time
A Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch uses Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), which is the same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). To change the default time on the switch, enter the clock command from EXEC mode.
switch# clock set <HH:MM:SS> <DD> <Month in words> <YYYY>
The following example sets the time on the switch:
switch# clock set 15:58:09 23 May 2005
Mon May 23 15:58:09 UTC 2005
Where HH represents hours in military format (15 for 3 p.m.), MM is minutes (58), SS is seconds (09),
DDis the date (23), Month is the month in words (May), and YYYY is the year (2005).
Note The clock command changes are saved across system resets.
Configuring the Time Zone
You can specify a time zone for the switch.
To specify the local time without the daylight savings feature, perform this task:
| Command | Purpose |
Step 1 |
|
|
switch# config t | Enters configuration mode. | |
Step 2 |
|
|
switch(config)# clock timezone <timezone | Sets the time zone with a specified name, | |
| name> | specified hours, and specified minutes. |
| <0 to 50 minutes offset from UTC> | This example sets the time zone to Pacific |
|
| |
| Example: | Standard Time (PST) and offsets the UTC time by |
| switch(config)# clock timezone PST | negative eight hours and 0 minutes. |
|
| |
Step 3 |
|
|
switch(config)# exit | Returns to EXEC mode. | |
| switch# |
|
Step 4 |
|
|
switch# show clock | Verifies the time zone configuration. | |
Step 5 |
|
|
switch# show run | Displays changes made to the time zone | |
|
| configuration along with other configuration |
