Command Usage
• In some countries or regions, clocks are adjusted through the summer months
so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. This is known
as Summer Time, or Daylight Savings Time (DST). Typically, clocks are
adjusted forward one hour at the start of spring and then adjusted backward
in autumn.
• This command sets the summer-time time relative to the configured time
zone. To specify the time corresponding to your local time when summer-time
is in effect, select the predefined summer-time time zone appropriate for your
location, or manually configure summer-time if these predefined
configurations do not apply to your location (see clock summer-time (date)
on page 23-40 or clock summer-time (recurring) on page 23-42).
