Problem Description
The CLI show clock output
does not always show the correct
time after a time-zone change.
(24526)
You can use the clock timezone CLI command to set the time zone of
the ARX. On rare occasions, the output from the show clock
command does not show the correct time after this change. For
example:
ARXa500# clock set 14:43:00 01/11/2007
ARXa500# show clock
Local time: Thu Jan 11 14:43:02 2007 EST -0500
America New_York
Universal time: Thu Jan 11 19:43:02 2007 UTC
ARXa500# config
ARXa500(cfg)# clock timezone America Denver
ARXa500(cfg)# show clock
Local time: Thu Jan 11 14:43:13 2007 EST -0500
America Denver
Universal time: Thu Jan 11 19:43:13 2007 UTC
The time does not conform to the new time zone, though the correct
new time zone (America Denver) does appear in the output.
Workaround: Log out of the CLI and log back in.
During the hour of transition
from daylight-savings time to
standard time, the clock set CLI
command incorrectly interprets
times in some time zones.
(24709)
Times are ambiguous in the hour when daylight-savings time reverts to
standard time, once per year. Suppose the transition occurs at 3 AM on
the day of the daylight-savings change: time passes from 3 to 4 AM in
daylight-savings time, then the clock goes back to 3 AM for standard
time, and then time passes from 3 to 4 AM again. In some time zones,
if you reset the clock to a time between 3 and 4 AM, the clock set
command may not interpret your time correctly. If this occurs, the
ARX assumes that the transition to standard time has already occurred.
This only occurs in time zones that are East of the Prime Meridian,
with positive offsets from UTC.
Workaround: Avoid the clock set command during the day and hour
of transition.
Layer 3
Problem Description
The ARX cannot send E-mail
messages through the out-of-
band (OOB) management
interface. NTP, DNS, and
RADIUS are also unsupported
through the OOB interface.
(24595)
All e-mail notifications from the ARX go out through an in-band
(VLAN) management interface, configured with the interface vlan
CLI command. At least one in-band-management interface must have a
route to the E-mail server for E-mail notifications to function. The
same applies to NTP, DNS, and RADIUS services.
Use the cfg-mode ip route command (without the mgmt flag) to add a
static IP route to the E-mail server(s), NTP server(s), and/or DNS
server(s).
