System Time and Date
The commands in this section configure time values on the system, either using the Dell EMC Networking OS, or the hardware,
or using the network time protocol (NTP). With NTP, the switch can act only as a client to an NTP clock host.
For more information, see “Network Time Protocol” of the Management section in the Dell EMC Networking OS Configuration
Guide.
The commands in this chapter are generally supported on Dell EMC Networking OS with some exceptions, as notes in the
Command History fields.
