Managing the System Date and Time
Managing the System Date and Time
You can configure the controller to obtain the date and time from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server,
or you can configure the date and time manually. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is used as the standard
for setting the time zone on the controller.
Configuring an NTP Server to Obtain the Date and Time
Each NTP server IP address is added to the controller database. Each controller searches for an NTP
server and obtains the current time upon reboot and at each user-defined polling interval (daily to
weekly).
Use these commands to configure an NTP server to obtain the date and time:
1. To specify the NTP server for the controller, enter this command:
config time ntp server index ip_address
2. To specify the polling interval (in seconds), enter this command:
config time ntp interval
Configuring the Date and Time Manually
Follow the instructions in this section to configure the date and time manually using the controller GUI
or CLI.
Using the GUI to Configure the Date and Time
Using the controller GUI, follow these steps to configure the local date and time.
Step 1 Click Commands > Set Time to open the Set Time page (see Figure 4-1).
