1. Enter the tstimezone command:
switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive
2. You are prompted to select a general location.
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.
3. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl+D to quit.
4. At the prompt, select a country location.
5. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time zone region or Ctrl+D to quit.
Correcting the time zone
If the switch time is off by hours (not minutes), set the time zone as follows:
1. Log in as admin.
2. Enter the tstimezone -interactive command and follow the prompts or enter the
tstimezone command as follows:
tstimezone [houroffset [, minuteoffset]]
For Pacific Standard Time, enter tstimezone -8,0
For Central Standard Time, enter tstimezone -6,0
For Eastern Standard Time, enter tstimezone -5,0
The default time zone for switches is UTC, which is 8 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time. To
determine the tstimezone command parameter for other U.S. time zones, see Table 7 on page 50.
The parameters do not apply if the time zone for the switch has already been changed from the default
(UTC). Because the time value is stored in nonvolatile memory, you need only set this once.
For more information about the command parameters, see the tstimezone command description
in the Fabric OS Command Reference.
