Configuring the Summertime Period

The summertime period offsets the system time +1 hour and returns it to standard time for daylight savings time or a similar summertime period that you set.

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 configure the summertime period, use the following command:

set summertime summer-name [start week weekday month hour min end week weekday month hour min]

The summer-namecan be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, with no spaces. The start and end dates and times are optional. If you do not specify a start and end time, WSS Software implements the time change starting at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in April and ending at 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday in October, according to the North American standard.

To set the summertime period to PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) and use the default start and end dates and times, type the following command:

23x0# set summertime PDT

success: change accepted.
