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 using timezone_fmt mode to

Central Standard time.

1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.

2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:

switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]

Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID, such as 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. Type the tsTimeZone command as follows:

switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive

2. You are prompted to select a general location.

Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.

3. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl-D to quit.

4. At the prompt, select a country location.

5. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time zone region or

Ctrl-D to quit.

Synchronizing local time using NTP

Perform the following steps to synchronize the local time using NTP.

1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.

2. Enter the tsClockServer command:

switch:admin> tsclockserver "<ntp1;ntp2>"

where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must be able to

access. The value ntp2 is the name of the second NTP server and is optional. The entire operand

“<ntp1;ntp2> ” is optional; by default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local clock of the principal or

primary switch as the clock server.
