Conguring the Time and Date
To set the system time and date:
1. Set the time zone to specify the offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
2. Congure MSS to offset the time by an additional hour for daylight savings time or similar
summertime period, if applicable.
3 Specify the IP address of a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server or statically set the time
and date.
Note: D-Link recommends that you set the time and date parameters before you install
certicates on the DWS-1008 switch. Generally, certicates are valid for one year beginning
with the system time and date that are in effect when you generate the certicate request. If
the switch’s time and date are incorrect, the certicate might not be valid.
To congure time and date parameters, use the following commands:
set timezone zone-name {-hours [minutes]}
set summertime summer-name [start week weekday month hour min end week weekday
month hour min]
set timedate {date mmm dd yyyy [time hh:mm:ss]}
set ntp {enable | disable}
set ntp server ip-addr
To verify the changes, use the following commands:
show timezone
show summertime
show timedate
show ntp
The following commands congure the timezone as PST (Pacic Standard Time) with an
offset of -8 hours from UTC and enable the standard summertime offset and name it PDT
(Pacic Daylight Time).
