Date and time settings.....................................61 Once you have set up the Brocade 5300 in a rack or as a standalone switch, it is time to give it power and a basic configuration. If you are going to use the Brocade 5300 in a single-switch setup, you can use EZSwitchSetup to complete the basic configuration.
Switch IP address You can configure the Brocade 5300 with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The Brocade 5300 supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
The Brocade 5300 maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) circuit. Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a Brocade 5300 with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly.
Use one of the two following procedures to set the time zone. The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using timezone_fmt mode to Central Standard time. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password. Brocade 5300 Hardware Installation Guide 53-1000858-07...

Updated with the NTP servers Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric. Brocade 5300 Hardware Installation Guide 53-1000858-07...
The switch runs POST by default each time it is powered on; it can take up to several minutes to boot and complete POST. To power the Brocade 5300 off, power off both power supplies by setting each AC power switch to "O". All devices are returned to their initial state the next time the switch is powered on.
