Parameters
time: Specifies a time in the format hh:mm:ss. The hh value is in the range of 0 to 23, the mm value is in
the range of 0 to 59, and the ss value is in the range of 0 to 59. The leading zero in a segment can be
omitted. If the seconds segment is 0 (hh:mm:00), you can omit it. If both the minutes and seconds
segments are 0 (hh:00:00), you can omit both of the segments. For example, to specify 08:00:00, you
can enter 8.
date: Specifies a date in the format MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD. The YYYY value is in the range
of 2000 to 2035, the MM value is in the range of 1 to 12, and the value range for DD depends on the
month value.
Usage guidelines
When the system time source is the local system time, the UTC time determines the system time together
with the local time zone and daylight saving time. You can use the display clock command to view the
system time.
A correct system time setting is essential to network management and communication. Set the system time
correctly or use NTP or PTP to synchronize your device with a trusted time source before you run it on the
network.
Examples
# Set the UTC time to 08:08:08 01/01/2012.
<Sysname> clock datetime 8:8:8 1/1/2012
# Set the UTC time to 08:10:00 01/01/2012.
<Sysname> clock datetime 8:10 2012/1/1
