Setting time zones
You must perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set. However, you
only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile
memory.
Use one of the two following procedures to set the time zone. The first procedure requires you to
select the actual time zone and the second requires you to select the country location of the
switch.
The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone to Central Standard Time using
the timezone_fmt mode.
1. Log in to the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]
Use the timezone_fmt mode to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID, such as
Pacific Standard Time (PST).
The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Central.
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Pacific
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Central
The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using interactive mode to
Pacific Standard Time.
1. Enter the tsTimeZone
--
interactive command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive
You are prompted to select a general location.
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.
2. Enter the appropriate number or press Ctrl-D to quit.
3. At the prompt, select a country location.
4. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time zone region or press Ctrl-D to
quit.
