Configuring a Timezone Definition File
You can load and apply daylight savings rules to your system from a timezone
definition file. A timezone definition file is derived from the public domain timezone
database and consists of:
 Zone entries, which identify the available timezones with their GMT offsets
and any applicable rules
 Rules, which define valid date and time ranges and the amount of time saved.
To configure a time zone definition file:
1. Establish an FTP connection into the system and upload the definition file from
your local workstation. A new directory will be added under the
config directory
with a single file named
timezones.def.
2. At the
config clock prompt, apply the installed timezone definition file:
config clock timezone from-file EST
3. (optional) Verify that the clock parameters have been configured properly:
show clock

4. Save the configuration.
In this scenario, you will:
 Install the timezone definition file
 Apply daylight savings rules from the timezone definition file
