set controller-date 147
set controller-date
Description Sets the date and time parameters for the system. You can set the date and time manually or
configure the system to communicate with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Alternatively, you
can configure NTP by using the set ntp-parameters command.
NOTE: If you specify valid NTP parameters and manual date/time parameters in the same
command, the NTP parameters will take precedence. If the NTP server cannot be contacted, the date
and time will not be changed and no error message will be displayed.If you specify the timestamp
parameter and other manual date/time parameters in the same command, the timestamp
parameter will take precedence.
