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)
Setting the Time Zone
The time zone parameter adjusts the system date, and optionally the time, by applying an
offset to UTC.
To set the time zone, use the following command:
set timezone zone-name {-hours [minutes]}
The zone name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, with no spaces. The hours
parameter specifies the number of hours to add to or subtract from UTC. Use a minus sign
(-) in front of the hour value to subtract the hours from UTC.
To set the time zone to PST (Pacific Standard Time), type the following command:
DWS-1008# set timezone PST -8
Timezone is set to 'PST', offset from UTC is -8:0 hours.
Displaying the Time Zone
To display the time zone, use the following command:
show timezone
For example, to display the time zone, type the following command:
DWS-1008# show timezone
Timezone set to 'PST', offset from UTC is -8 hours
