Adjusting for Daylight Saving Time

Following U.S. standards, the switch can advance the clock one hour at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in April and move the clock back one hour at 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday in October. You can also explicitly specify the start and end dates and times, and you can specify whether or not the time adjustment recurs every year.

To enable the daylight saving time clock adjustment according to the U.S. rules, perform this task:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	switch# config t	Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
	switch(config)# clock timezone	Offsets the time zone as specified.
	timezone_name hour_offset_from_UTC
	minute_offset_from_UTC	This example sets the Pacific standard offset time as
	Example:	negative 8 hours and 0 minutes.
	switch(config)# clock timezone PST -8 0
	switch(config)# no clock timezone	Disables the time zone adjustment feature.
Step 3
	switch(config)# clock summer-time	Sets the daylight savings time for a specified time
	daylight_timezone_name start_week	zone.
