Setting the date and time
About this task
The date and time settings are used for event logging, error detection, and troubleshooting; and hence,
you should set them correctly. However, device operation does not depend on the date and time; a device
with an incorrect date or time values still functions properly.
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) device to
that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Perform the following steps to set the date and time.
