System Information
For example, the time zone setting for Berlin, Germany is +60 (zone +1, or 60
minutes), and the time zone setting for Vancouver, Canada is -480 (zone -8, or
-480 minutes). To configure the time zone and daylight time rule for Vancouver,
Canada:
ProCurve
(config)#
time timezone -480
daylight-time-rule continental-us-and-canada
Configure the Time and Date.
The switch uses the time command to con-
figure both the time of day and the date. Also, executing time without param-
eters lists the switch’s time of day and date. Note that the CLI uses a 24-hour
clock scheme; that is, hour (
hh
) values from 1 p.m. to midnight are input as
13 - 24, respectively.
Syntax:
time [
hh
:
mm
[ :

]] [
mm/dd/
[

For example, to set the switch to 9:45 a.m. on November 17, 2002:
ProCurve
(config)# time 9:45 11/17/02
N o t e
Executing
reload
or
boot
resets the time and date to their default startup values.
