New Daylight Saving Time (DST)
The new Daylight Saving Time (DST) change that went into effect on March 11th, 2007 affects only
networks following the US time zones. This software release supports the DST automatic feature,
but to trigger the device to the correct time, the device must be configured to the US time zone, not
the GMT offset. To configure your device to use the US time zone, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config)#clock timezone us pacific
Syntax: [no] clock timezone us <timezone-type>
Enter pacific, eastern, central, or mountain for <timezone-type>.
This command must be configured on every device that follows the US DST.
To verify the change, run a show clock command.
BigIron RX(config)#show clock
Syntax: show clock slot1 to MP and LP of primary flash
Configuring CLI banners
The device can be configured to display a greeting message on users’ terminals when they enter
the Privileged EXEC CLI level or access the device through Telnet. In addition, a device can display a
message on the Console when an incoming Telnet CLI session is detected.
