Basic Switch Configuration Procedures

Setting the Switch Date and Time

All switches maintain current date and time in nonvolatile memory. Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly.

To set the date and time of a switch:

1.Log in to the switch as the admin user.

2.At the command line, enter the following command: date "MMDDhhmmYY"

where:

MMis the month, valid values are 01-12. DD is the day, valid values are 01-31.

hhis the hour, valid values are 00-23.

mmis minutes, valid values are 00-59. YY is the year, valid values are 00-99.

Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069. The date function does not support daylight savings time or time zones.
