Setting the date and time
The switch maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time
clock (RTC) circuit. Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation
does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time
value still functions properly. However, because the date and time are used for
logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, you should set them correctly.
Setting the date
1.
If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default
password, which is
password
.
2.
Enter the
date
command, using the following syntax:
date
"mmddHHMMyy"
The values represent the following information:
v
mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12
v
dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31
v
HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23
v
MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59
v
yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are
interpreted as 1970 through 1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as
2000-2069)

Setting time zones
You can set the time zone for a switch by name. You can specify the setting using
country and city or time zone parameters.
If the time zone is not set with the new options, the switch retains the offset time
zone settings. The
tsTimeZone
command also includes an option to revert to the
prior time zone format. For more information about the
tstimezone [--old]
option,
see the
Fabric OS Command Reference
.
You can set the time zone for a switch using the
tsTimeZone
command. The
tsTimeZone
command allows you to perform the following tasks:
v
Display all of the time zones supported in the firmware
v
Set the time zone based on a country and city combination or based on a time
zone ID such as PST
