Chapter 2: Accessing and Managing the System
To set the device to the correct timezone, use the clock timezone command in
either Privileged Exec or Global Configuration modes.
clock timezone zonename hours_offset {minutes_offset}
The following example sets the timezone to Pacific Standard Time (PST).
(SafeGuardOS) # clock timezone PST -8
(SafeGuardOS) #
2 Set the time and date.
If no other time sources are available to set the current time and date, use the set
clock command in Privileged Exec mode. The time specified in this command is
relative to Universal Time Clock (UTC) time zone. The system can then be
synchronized to an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) clock source.
This command also updates the real time clock chip so it is preserved across
reboots.
clock set time month day year
The following example sets the time to November 29, 2007 at 4:25:37 PM:
(SafeGuardOS) # clock set 16:25:37 NOV 29 2007
(SafeGuardOS) #
