However, because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, you
should set them correctly.
Time zones
You can set the time zone for the switch by name. You can also set country, city or time zone
parameters.
If the time zone is not set with the new options, the switch retains the offset time zone settings. The

The tsTimeZone setting automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time.
Changing the time zone on a switch updates the local time zone setup and is reflected in local
