Displays or modifies the time zone for the switch.
system timezone [timezone_abbrev | offset_value | time_notation]
Syntax Definitions
timezone_abbrev Specifies a time zone for the switch and sets the system clock to run on
UTC. Refer to the table below for a list of supported time zone abbrevi-
ations. If you specify a time zone abbreviation, the hours offset from
UTC will be automatically calculated by the switch.
offset_value Specifies the number of hours offset from UTC. Values may range from
-13 through +12. The switch automatically enables UTC. However, if
you do not want your system clock to run on UTC, simply enter the
offset +0 for the system time zone. This sets UTC to run on local time.
time_notation Specifies a non-integer time-notation offset for areas that are offset from
UTC by increments of 15, 30, or 45 minutes (e.g., 05:30).
