Displaying the NTP Configuration

You can use two privileged EXEC commands to display NTP information:

For detailed information about the fields in these displays, see the Cisco IOS Configuration
Fundamentals Command Reference, Release 12.2.

Configuring Time and Date Manually

If no other source of time is available, you can manually configure the time and date after the system is
restarted. The time remains accurate until the next system restart. We recommend that you use manual
configuration only as a last resort. If you have an outside source to which the switch can synchronize,
you do not need to manually set the system clock.
You must reset this setting if you have manually set the system clock and the stack master fails and
Note
different stack member resumes the role of stack master.

Setting the System Clock

If you have an outside source on the network that provides time services, such as an NTP server, you do
not need to manually set the system clock.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the system clock:
Command
Step 1
clock set hh:mm:ss day month year
or
clock set hh:mm:ss month day year
This example shows how to manually set the system clock to 1:32 p.m. on July 23, 2001:
