Log In and Configuration
The following example shows how to change the time zone to
US/Mountain.
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Pacific
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Mountain
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Mountain
The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone
using interactive mode.
1. Type the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive
You are prompted to select a general location.
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can
be set correctly.
2. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl-D to quit.
3. At the prompt, select a country location.
4. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time
zone region or Ctrl-D to quit.
Synchronizing local
time
To synchronize the local time of the principal or primary switch with
that of an external NTP server, follow these steps.
1. If necessary, log on to the switch by Telnet, using the admin
account.
2. Enter the tsClockServer command:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "<ntp1;ntp2>"
where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server,
which the switch must be able to access. The variable ntp2 is the
second NTP server and is optional. The operand “<ntp1;ntp2>” is
optional; by default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local
clock of the principal or primary switch as the clock server.
The tsClockServer command accepts multiple server addresses
in either IPv4, IPv6, or DNS name formats. When multiple NTP
server addresses are passed, tsclockserver sets the first obtainable
address as the active NTP server. The rest will be stored as
backup servers that can take over if the active NTP server fails.
The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with
the NTP server every 64 seconds.
