Setting time and date
All SmartNode devices provide time-of-day and date services. These services allow the products to accurately
keep track of the current time and date. The system clock specifies year, month, day, hour, minutes, and
optionally seconds. The time is in 24-hour format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss and is retained after a reload.
Mode: Configure
Step

node (cfg)#clock set yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
Note
SmartWare includes an integrated SNTP client, which allows synchroniza-
tion of time-of-day and date to a reference time server. Refer to chapter 20,
"SNTP client configuration"
