To create a system banner use the
banner
command followed by the message you want displayed. If the banner
message has to be formed out of more than one word the information is enclosed by double quotes. Adding the
escape sequence “\n” to the string forming the banner creates a new line on the connected terminal screen. Use
the
no banner
command to delete the message.

Setting Time and Date
All Patton devices provide time-of-day and date services. These services allow the products to accurately keep
track of the current time and date. The system clock specifies year, month, day, hour, minutes, and optionally
seconds. The time is in 24-hour format
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
and is retained after a reload.

Configuring Daylight Savings Time Rules
Trinity allows configuring daylight saving time rules, which affect the local clock offset without changing the
configuration. After booting up and loading the configuration, the daylight saving rules are checked and
applied automatically. The rules consist of a default-offset and one or multiple dst-rules. The offset of a dst-rule
is active if the local clock is between the specified start and stop time of the rule. If the local clock is outside the
specified start and stop time of all specified rules, then the default-offset is active.
