Date, time and NTP
Understanding
The date and time can be set on the MCR using a manually configured value or automatically via
Network Time Protocol (NTP). The NTP settings take precedence over the manual settings. If NTP is
enabled, then the user will not be able to set the date and time manually.
Configuring
To manually set the date and time, use the request set-current-datetime:
admin@(none) 18:18:58> request system clockset set-current-datetime current-datetime <time>
To use an NTP server, an NTP server must be configured on MCR:
admin@(none) 00:20:33% set system ntp use-ntp true ntp-server time.nist.gov
admin@(none) 00:20:33% commit
Monitoring
Ensure the CLI is in operational mode. Follow the example below to view the state and statistics:
admin@(none) 00:20:34> show system clock
system clock current-datetime 2012-06-19T00:20:34+00:00
system clock boot-datetime 2012-06-19T00:18:01+00:00
