Configuring IP Addressing, Interface Access, and System Information

System Information

Configure the Time and Date. The switch uses the time command to configure both the time of day and the date. Also, executing time without parameters lists the switch’s time of day and date. Note that the CLI uses a 24-hour clock scheme; that is, hour (hh) values from 1 p.m. to midnight are input as 13 - 24, respectively.

Syntax: time [hh:mm[:ss]] [mm/dd/ [yy]yy]

For example, to set the switch to 3:45 p.m. on October 1, 2000:

HP2512(config)# time 15:45 10/01/00

N o t e

Executing reload or boot resets the time and date to their default startup values.
