Switch Date and Time
All switches maintain current date and time in non-volatile memory. Date and
time are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date
and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly.
Note: This command is disabled when the security feature is enabled. With security
enabled you can only view the current setting.
Setting the Switch Date and Time
To set the date and time of a switch:
1. Log into the switch as the admin user.
2. At the command line, enter the date command using the following syntax:
date “MMDDhhmmYY”
The values represent the following:
— MM is the month, valid values are 01-12.
— DD is the date, valid values are 01-31.
— hh is the hour, valid values are 00-23.
— mm is minutes, valid values are 00-59.
— YY is the year, valid values are 00-99.
Note: Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970—1999, year values less
than 70 are interpreted as 2000—2069. The date function does not support daylight
savings time or time zones.
Example:
switch:admin> date "0505215089"
Fri May 5 21:50:00 UTC 1989
switch:admin>
