Managing the System Time and Date
Configuring Summer Time (Daylight Saving Time)
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure summer time (daylight saving time)
in areas where it starts and ends on a particular day of the week each year:
The first part of the
clock summer-time
global configuration command specifies when summer time
begins, and the second part specifies when it ends. All times are relative to the local time zone. The start
time is relative to standard time. The end time is relative to summer time. If the starting month is after
the ending month, the system assumes that you are in the southern hemisphere.
This example shows how to specify that summer time starts on the first Sunday in April at 02:00 and
ends on the last Sunday in October at 02:00:
Switch(config)#
clock summer-time PDT recurring 1 Sunday April 2:00 last Sunday October
2:00

Configure summer time to start and end on the specified days every year.
Summer time is disabled by default. If you specify

zone

without parameters, the summer time rules default to the
United States rules.
