Configuring and Managing Time Parameters

You can configure the system time and date statically or by using Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers. In each case, you can specify the offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by setting the time zone. You also can configure WSS Software to offset the time by an additional hour for daylight savings time or similar summertime period.

Note. Nortel recommends that you set the time and date parameters before you install certificates on the WSS switch. Generally, certificates are valid for one year beginning with the system time and date that are in effect when you generate the certificate request. If the switch’s time and date are incorrect, the certificate might not be valid.

To statically set the time and date:

•Set the time zone (set timezone command)

•Set the summertime period (set summertime command)

•Set the time and date (set timedate command)

Note. Configure summertime before you set the time and date. Otherwise, summertime’s adjustment of the time will make the time incorrect, if the date is within the summertime period.

To use NTP servers to set the time and date:

•Set the time zone (set timezone command)

•Set the summertime period (set summertime command)

•Configure NTP server information (set ntp commands)
