Setting the time zone
You must set the time zone on all devices for which the time zone must be set. However, you only need to set the time zone once on
each device because the value is written to nonvolatile memory. While not necessary for device operation, setting a time zone is part of
ensuring accurate logging and audit tracking. Time zone changes persist through a reboot without having to save the current running
conguration.
To set the time zone, complete the following steps.
1. Log in to the device using an account that has the admin role.
2. Enter the clock timezone region/city command while in global conguration mode.
The following example changes the time zone to US/Pacic Standard Time.
device# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
device(config)# clock timezone America/Los_Angeles
Verifying correct operation
Perform the following steps to verify correct operation of the device.
1. Check the LEDs of all power supplies, fans, and modules to verify that all are functional. For a more detailed description of the
LEDs on each system component, refer to Monitoring the Device on page 75.
NOTE
The switch fabric module status LEDs are located on the management module, as well as the switch fabric module.
For more information, refer to Verifying switch fabric module operation on page 118.
2. Log into the device using one of the following methods:
• A serial console connection to the active management module. The active management module has the LED labeled
ACTIVE on the front panel illuminated in blue.
• A Telnet session using the chassis management IP address.
3. Log in to the device using admin as your login name. If you have not changed the default password, use password for
password.
