Setting The System Time Zone; Setting The Date And Time; Setting Optional System Information - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6450 Series Getting Started Manual

Setting the System Time Zone

The switch's default time zone is UTC (also referred to as
Greenwich Mean Time).
If you require a time zone that is specific to your region—or if
you need to enable Daylight Savings Time (DST) on the
switch—you can configure these settings via the
system timezone and system daylight savings time
commands. For example, to set the system clock to run on
Pacific Standard Time, enter the following command:
-> system timezone pst
To enable Daylight Savings Time, enter the following
command:
-> system daylight savings time enable
Many other time zone variables are supported. For detailed
information on configuring a time zone for the switch, refer to
your Switch Management Guide.

Setting the Date and Time

Set the current time for the switch by entering system time,
followed by the current time in hh:mm:ss. For example:
-> system time 18:35:00
The switch uses a 24-hour clock; the time value shown in the
above example would set the time to 6:35 PM.
May 2012
To set the current date for the switch, enter system date,
followed by the current date in mm/dd/yyyy. For example:
-> system date 04/27/2012

Specifying an Administrative Contact

charge of the switch. If a contact is specified, users can easily
find the appropriate network administrator if they have ques-
tions or comments about the switch.
To specify an administrative contact, enter system contact,
followed by a text string of characters. If you include spaces
between words in the text string, be sure to enclose the string
in quotes ( ).
