Basic Configuration Procedures

Setting the Switch Date and Time

All switches maintain current date and time in non-volatile memory. Date and time are used for
logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect
date and time value still functions properly.
To set the date and time of a switch:
1. Login to the switch as the admin user.
2. At the command line enter the following command:
date "MMDDhhmmYY"
where:
MM is the month, valid values are 01-12.
DD is the date, valid values are 01-31.
hh is the hour, valid values are 00-23.
mm is minutes, valid values are 00-59.
YY is the year, valid values are 00-99.
Note:

Displaying the System Configuration Settings

The system configuration settings are displayed.

Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970-1999, year values less than 70 are
interpreted as 2000-2069. The date function does not support daylight saving time or time
zones.
