Configuring the Date, Time, and Time Zone
Showing the Date and Time
Use the
show clock
command to display the current date and time. For example:
#
show clock
Table 2-2
describes the fields in the
show clock
command output.

Field Descriptions for the show clock Command
Field
Description
Date
The configured date in the format of month, day, and
year; for example, the date June 15th 2003 appears as
06-15-2003.
If you use the
date european-date
command, the format
is day, month, and year. For example, the date June 15th
2003 appears as 15-06-2003.
Time
The configured time in the format of hour, minute, and
second; for example, 16:23:45.
If you configure an SNTP server, the
show clock
command displays the time adjusted with the time zone
offset. The
show clock
command displays the UTC time
from the SNTP server. If you configure a time zone, the
show clock
command displays the time adjusted with the
time zone offset. For example, if the UTC time from the
server is 16:30:43 and you configure a time zone negative
offset of 5 hours and 30 minutes (–05:-30:+00), the
displayed time becomes 11:00:43.
Timezone
The configured time zone offset from an SNTP server.
All zeros (00:00:00) indicate that no offset was
configured for the time zone. A negative symbol (–)
indicates a negative offset to the UTC (for example,
-05:-23:+00). A positive symbol (+) indicates a positive
offset to the UTC (for example, +12:+00:+00).
