NOTE: Passwords are 8 to 40 characters long. They must begin with an alphabetic character. They can include numeric
characters, the period (.), and the underscore (_) only. Passwords are case-sensitive, and do display when you enter
them on the command line.
Set date and time
Use date and time settings for logging events, error detection, and troubleshooting. However, device operation does not depend
on the date and time; a device with incorrect date or time values still functions properly.
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) device to that of an external
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
1. Log in to the device as admin.
2. Enter the date ["newdate"] command at the command line.
The "newdate" variable specifies the new date and time enclosed in double quotation marks. The operand is optional; if
omitted, the current date and time displays. Date and time are specified as a string in the mmddhhmmyy format:
● mm: Specifies the month. Valid values are 01–12.
● dd: Specifies the date. Valid values are 01–31.
● hh: Specifies the hour. Valid values are 00–23.
● mm: Specifies the minutes. Valid values are 00–59.
● yy: Specifies the year. Valid values are 00–37 and 70–99. Year values from 70 to 99 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year
values from 00 to 37 are interpreted as 2000-2037.

Set time zone
The default time zone is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). You can only set the time zone once because the value is stored in
nonvolatile memory.
1. Log in as admin.
2. Enter the tsTimeZone --interactive command and follow the prompts, or enter the tsTimeZone -
[houroffset, minuteoffset] command as follows:
● For Pacific Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -8,0.
● For Central Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -6,0.
● For Eastern Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -5,0.
