Specifying System Time Information
Follow these steps to set system time information:
To set the time zone, use the clock timezone command in Global Configuration
mode, as shown below:
MOT(config)#clock timezone {<WORD> <Hours_offset>
where:
WORD is the name of the time zone.
Hours_offset is the number of hours offset from Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC); valid entries are -23 to +23 hours.
To set the system clock, type Ctrl Z or exit to return to Privileged EXEC mode and
enter either of the clock set commands, as shown in the examples below. These
examples show how to manually set the clock to 4:30 a.m. on May 1, 2001:
MOT#clock set 04:30:00 1 May 2001
MOT#clock set 04:30:00 May 1 2001
Configuring System Log Parameters
The BSR can be set to generate log messages when the configuration changes and
when certain network or device events occur. This section describes how to configure
the system log parameters.
The tasks described in this section involve some parameters you may want to change,
such as the logging type and the severity level of the information that is logged. The
tasks for configuring the system log include the following:
• Configuring Logging for a Remote Syslog Server
• Configuring Console Logging
• Setting the Logging Buffer
• Restricting Logging Rates and SNMP Traps
• Setting the Recording Mechanism for CMTS Reports
