System Information

Reconfigure the Age Time for Learned MAC Addresses. This com­ mand corresponds to the MAC Age Interval in the menu interface, and is expressed in seconds.

Syntax: mac-age-time<10 . . 1000000> (seconds)

For example, to configure the age time to seven minutes:

HPswitch(config)# mac-age-time 420

Configure the Time Zone and Daylight Time Rule. These commands:

■Set the time zone you want to use

■Define the daylight time rule for keeping the correct time when daylight- saving-time shifts occur.

Syntax: time timezone <-720 . . 840>

time daylight-time-rule <none alaska continental-us-and-canada middle-europe-and-portugal southern-hemisphere western-europe user-defined>

East of the 0 meridian, the sign is “+”. West of the 0 meridian, the sign is “-”.

For example, the time zone setting for Berlin, Germany is +60 (zone +1, or 60 minutes), and the time zone setting for Vancouver, Canada is -480 (zone -8, or -480 minutes). To configure the time zone and daylight time rule for Vancouver, Canada:

HPswitch(config)# time timezone -480 daylight-time-rule continental-us-and-canada

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 param­ eters 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 9:45 a.m. on November 17, 2002:

HPswitch(config)# time 9:45 11/17/02

N o t e

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