Setting the system clock
The Brocade device allows you to manually set the system clock. Using the clock set command
starts the system clock with the time and date you specify. The time counter setting is retained
across power cycles.
To set the system time and date to 10:15:05 on October 15, 2005, enter the following command.
Brocade# clock set 10:15:05 10-15-05
Syntax: [no] clock set hh:mm:ss mm-dd-yy | mm-dd-yyyy
By default, the Brocade device does not change the system time for daylight savings time. To
enable daylight savings time, enter the following command.
Brocade# clock summer-time
Syntax: [no] clock summer-time
You can configure the Brocade device to adjust the time for any one-hour offset from GMT or for
one of the following U.S. time zones:
• US Pacific (default)
• Alaska
• Aleutian
• Arizona
• Central
• East-Indiana
• Eastern
• Hawaii
• Michigan
• Mountain
• Pacific
• Samoa
The default is US Pacific.
To change the time zone to Australian East Coast time (which is normally 10 hours ahead of GMT),
enter the following command.
Brocade(config)# clock timezone gmt gmt+10
Syntax: [no] clock timezone gmt gmt | us time-zone
You can enter one of the following values for time-zone:
• US time zones (us): alaska, aleutian, arizona, central, east-indiana, eastern, hawaii, michigan,
mountain, pacific, samoa.
• GMT time zones (gmt): gmt+12, gmt+11, gmt+10...gmt+01, gmt+00, gmt-01...gmt-10, gmt-11,
