Configuring System Timing - Cisco ASR 5000 Series Administration Manual

System Settings
Verify that the port configuration settings are correct by entering the following command:
show configuration port slot#/port#
slot# is the chassis slot number of the line card where the physical port resides. slot# is either 5 or 6. port# is
the number of the port (either 1 or 2).
This following command produces an output similar to the one shown below. It displays the configuration of
port 2 of the MIO/UMIO/MIO2 installed in chassis slot 5. In this example, the port is bound to an interface
called mgmt2.
config
port ethernet 5/2
end
Save your configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.

Configuring System Timing

The system is equipped with a clock that supplies the timestamp for statistical counters, accounting records,
logging, and event notification. After the initial configuration of the system clock, you can configure the
system to communicate with one or more Network Time Protocol (NTP) server(s) to ensure that the clock is
always accurate.
In the event of a power outage, the clock is maintained with an accuracy of + one minute per month for up to
10 years. This ensures that when power is restored, the system is ready to process sessions and generate
accounting, log, and event data with accurate timestamps.
In addition to configuring the timing source, you must configure the system's time zone.
Setting the System Clock and Time Zone
Use the following command example to configure the system clock and time zone:
clock set date
configure
clock timezone timezone
end
Notes:
• Enter the date and time in the format YYYY:MM:DD:HH:mm or YYYY:MM:DD:HH:mm:ss.
• Refer to the online Help for the clock timezone command for a complete list of supported time zones.
• The optional local keyword indicates that the time zone specified is the local timezone.
• Daylight Savings Time is automatically adjusted for time zones supporting it.
Save your configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.
