Set-time

Use the set-time command to set the system date and time. The time entered should be accurate for the time zone configured for the system. The system will convert the local time to UTC before saving to the system clock, which is always set to UTC. If SNTP or NTP is enabled (no shutdown), this command cannot be used. The set-time command does not take into account any daylight saving offset, if defined.

Use the following syntax to set the date and time.

admin
        set-time date time

Example: Command usage to set the date and time

admin# set-time 2007/02/06 04:10:00
