NOTE Receiving the time from the computer configuring the switch should 
be the last resort, such as after a power outage when no other time source 
is available. 
Time Zone and Daylight Savings Time (DST)
Time Zone and Daylight Savings Time (DST)
The Time Zone and DST can be set on the switch in the following ways:
• Dynamic configuration of the switch through a DHCP server, where:
- Dynamic DST, when enabled and available, always takes precedence 
over the manual configuration of DST. 
- If the server supplying the source parameters fails, or dynamic 
configuration is disabled by the user, the manual settings are used.
- Dynamic configuration of the time zone and DST continues after the IP 
address lease time has expired.
• Manual configuration of the time zone and DST by the user becomes the 
Operational time zone and DST, only if the dynamic configuration is 
disabled or fails.
Configuring System Time
Use the 
System Time 
page to configure the current time, time zone, DST, and the 
time source.
CAUTION The switch does not have an internal clock that updates this value. If the system 
time is set manually and the switch is rebooted, the manual time settings must be 
reentered.
To define system time:
STEP 1 Click Administration> Time Settings > System Time. The 
System Time 
page 
opens.
STEP  2 Enter the parameters.
