Configuring The Time Zone - Cisco WS-C3550-12G Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 6 Administering the Switch

Configuring the Time Zone

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to manually configure the time zone:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 clock timezone zone hours-offset
[minutes-offset]
Step 3
end
Step 4
show running-config
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config
The minutes-offset variable in the clock timezone global configuration command is available for those
cases where a local time zone is a percentage of an hour different from UTC. For example, the time zone
for some sections of Atlantic Canada (AST) is UTC-3.5, where the 3 means 3 hours and .5 means 50
percent. In this case, the necessary command is clock timezone AST -3 30.
To set the time to UTC, use the no clock timezone global configuration command.

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Set the time zone.
The switch keeps internal time in universal time coordinated (UTC), so
this command is used only for display purposes and when the time is
manually set.
For zone, enter the name of the time zone to be displayed when
•
standard time is in effect. The default is UTC.
For hours-offset, enter the hours offset from UTC.
•
(Optional) For minutes-offset, enter the minutes offset from UTC.
•
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
