Setting the time zone
You must perform the procedure on all chassis for which the time zone must be set. However, you
only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile
memory.
Use one of the two following procedures to set the time zone.
The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using timezone_fmt mode to
Central Standard time.
1. Log in to the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]
Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID, such as PST.
The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Central.
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Pacific
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Central
The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using interactive mode to
Pacific Standard Time.
