Setting the date and time
The date and time settings are used for logging events. Switch
operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an
incorrect date and time value still functions properly. However,
because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and
troubleshooting, they should be set correctly.
Setting the date
To set the date, follow these steps.
1. If necessary, log on to the ED-DCX-4S-B by Telnet, using the
admin account.
2. Enter the date command, using the following syntax:
date "mmddHHMMyy"
Where:
• mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
• dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
• HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
• MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
• yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater
than 69 are interpreted as 1970 through 1999, and values less
than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069).
switch:admin> date
Fri Sep 26 17:01:48 UTC 2008
switch:admin> date "0926123008"
Fri Sep 26 12:30:00 UTC 2008
switch:admin>
Setting the time
zone
To set the time zone, follow these steps.
1. If necessary, log on to the switch by Telnet, using the admin
account.
2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [,
timezone_fmt]
Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by
time zone ID, such as MST.
