Usage Guidelines If you have an outside source on your network that provides time services (such as a NTP server), you
do not need to set the system clock manually. When setting the clock, enter the local time. The WAAS
device calculates the UTC based on the time zone set by the clock timezone global configuration
command.
Two clocks exist in the system: the software clock and the hardware clock. The software uses the
software clock. The hardware clock is used only at bootup to initialize the software clock.
The set keyword sets the software clock.
Examples The following example shows how to set the software clock on the WAAS device:
WAE# clock set 13:32:00 01 February 2005
