System Time
routers are equipped with a real-time system clock for time keeping purposes. When set, the
system clock always operates on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), but the software has
options for local time translation as well as system clock synchronization.
System time parameters include:
• Time Zones on page 151
• Network Time Protocol (NTP) on page 153
• SNTP Time Synchronization on page 154
• CRON on page 155
Time Zones
Setting a time zone in allows for times to be displayed in the local time rather than in UTC. The
has both user-defined and system defined time zones.
A user-defined time zone has a user assigned name of up to four printable ASCII characters in
length and unique from the system-defined time zones. For user-defined time zones, the offset
from UTC is configured as well as any summer time adjustment for the time zone.
The system-defined time zones are listed in Table 16 which includes both time zones with and
without summer time correction.
