Configuring the
System Date and
Time
The system date and time can be configured:
• manually
• using a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server
In both cases, you can use an offset to convert the displayed Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) to local time.
The IP addresses of the SNTP servers and the time offset can also be specified
automatically through DHCP. See
Manual Date and Time
Configuration
/system/set date <YYYY-MM-DD> [time <hh:mm:ss>]
/system/set time <hh:mm:ss>
/system/set time offset <hour_offset:minute_offset>
/system/show date
/system/show timeoffset
The
set date
and
set time
commands set the current date and time. The value
must be formatted as follows:
• YYYY is the year
• MM is the month
• DD is the date
• hh specifies the hour
• mm specifies the minutes
• ss specifies the seconds
You must enter the exact date and time format as specified; that is, four digits
for the year and two digits for the month, day, hour, minutes and seconds.
The
set time offset
command configures an offset that is used to convert the
displayed UTC time to local time. The
hour_offset
portion of the parameter
ranges from -12 to +13. The
minute_offset
portion of the parameter ranges
from 0 to 59.
Example 1
/system# set date 2004-02-10 time 06:50:00
Example 2
/system# set time 08:45:00
Example 3
/system# set time offset -4 30
