Configuring the Time Zone
To manually configure the time zone
, follow these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
The
minutes-offset
variable in the
clock timezone
command is available for those areas where a local
time zone is only a percentage of an hour different from UTC. For example, the time zone for some
sections of Atlantic Canada (AST) is UTC-3.5, where the 3 means 3 hours and .5 means 50 percent. In
this case, the necessary command is
clock timezone AST -3 30
.
To set the time to UTC, use the
no clock timezone
command in global configuration mode.
