Setting time and date

All SmartNode devices provide time-of-day and date services. These services allow the products to accurately keep track of the current time and date. The system clock specifies year, month, day, hour, minutes, and optionally seconds. The time is in 24-hour format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssand is retained after a reload.

Mode: Configure

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node(cfg)#clock set yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss	Sets the system clock to yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss

Note The integrated SNTP client allows synchronization of time-of-day and date to a reference time server. Refer to chapter 26, “SNTP client configuration” on page 282 for more details.
