Configuring NTP (CLI)
PTP 820G and PTP 820F uses the Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) standard for time and date configuration. UTC
is a more updated and accurate method of date coordination than the earlier date standard, Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT).
Every PTP 820G and PTP 802F unit holds the UTC offset and daylight savings time information for the location of
the unit. Each management unit presenting the information uses its own UTC offset to present the information in
the correct time.
Note
If the unit is powered down, the time and date are saved for 96 hours (four days). If the unit remains
powered down for longer, the time and date may need to be reconfigured
.
To set the UTC time, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform management time-services utc set date-and-time <date-and-
time>
To set the local time offset relative to UTC, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform management time-services utc set offset hours-offset
<hours-offset> minutes-offset <minutes-offset>
To display the local time configurations, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform management time-services show status
