Setting The System Date And Time; Configuring Daylight Saving Time - Cisco WS-C2955T-12 Software Manual

Setting the System Date and Time

You can also specify up to 15 privilege levels and define passwords for them by using the enable
password [level level] {password} or the enable secret [level level] {password} command. Level 1 is
EXEC-mode user privileges. If you do not specify a level, the privilege level defaults to 15 (privileged
EXEC-mode privileges).
You can specify a level, set a password, and give the password only to users who need to have access at
this level. Use the privilege level global configuration command to specify commands accessible at
various levels.
If you lose or forget your enable password, see the
section on page
Setting the System Date and Time
You can change the date and a 24-hour clock time setting on the switch. If you are entering the time for
an American time zone, enter the three-letter abbreviation for the time zone, such as PST for Pacific
standard time. If you are identifying the time zone by referring to Greenwich mean time, enter UTC
(universal coordinated time). You then must enter a negative or positive number as an offset to indicate
the number of time zones between the switch and Greenwich, England. Enter a negative number if the
switch is west of Greenwich, England, and east of the international date line. For example, California is
eight time zones west of Greenwich, so you would enter –8. Enter a positive number if the switch is east
of Greenwich. You can also enter negative and positive numbers for minutes.

Configuring Daylight Saving Time

You can configure the switch to change to daylight saving time on a particular day every year, on a day
that you enter, or not at all.
For CLI procedures, refer to the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 documentation on Cisco.com for additional
information and CLI procedures.
