3.1.3 Setting the System Clock
The system clock must be correctly set to ensure synchronization with other devices.
Context
The system clock is the time indicated by the system timestamp. Because the rules governing
local time differ in different regions, the system clock can be configured to comply with the
rules of any given region.
The system clock is calculated using the following formula: System clock = Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) + Time zone offset + Daylight saving time offset.
Set the system clock to the correct time to ensure that the device operates properly with other
devices.
Perform the following steps in the user view to set the system clock:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
clock datetime HH:MM:SS YYYY-MM-DD
The current date and time is set.
NOTE
If the time zone has not been configured or is set to 0, the date and time set by this command are considered
to be UTC. Set the time zone and UTC correctly.
Step 2 Run:
clock timezone time-zone-name { add | minus } offset
The time zone is set.
l If add is configured, the current time is the UTC time plus the time offset. That is, the default
UTC time plus offset is equal to the time of time-zone-name.
l If minus is configured, the current time is the UTC time minus the time offset. That is, the
default UTC time minus offset is equal to the time of time-zone-name.
Step 3 Run:
clock daylight-saving-time time-zone-name one-year start-time start-date end-time
end-date offset
or
clock daylight-saving-time time-zone-name repeating start-time { { first | second
| third | fourth | last } weekday month | start-date } end-time { { first |
