Configuring basic system parameters
2
By default, Dell PowerConnect switches and routers do not change the system time for daylight
saving time. To enable daylight saving time, enter the following command.
PowerConnect# clock summer-time
Syntax: clock summer-time
Although SNTP servers typically deliver the time and date in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), you can
configure the Dell PowerConnect device to adjust the time for any one-hour offset from GMT or for
one of the following U.S. time zones:
US Pacific
Alaska
Aleutian
Arizona
Central
East-Indiana
Eastern
Hawaii
Michigan
Mountain
Pacific
Samoa
To change the time zone to Australian East Coast time (which is normally 10 hours ahead of GMT),
enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config)# clock timezone gmt gmt+10
Syntax: clock timezone gmt | us <time-zone>
You can enter one of the following values for <time-zone>:
US time zones (us): alaska, aleutian, arizona, central, east-indiana, eastern, hawaii, michigan,
mountain, pacific, samoa.
GMT time zones (gmt): gmt+0:00 to gmt+12:00 in increments of 1, and gmt-0:00 to gmt-12:00
in decrements of 1 are supported.
New start and end dates for US daylight saving time
NOTE
This feature applies to US time zones only.
The system will automatically change the system clock to Daylight Saving Time (DST), in compliance
with the new federally mandated start of daylight saving time, which is extended one month
beginning in 2007. The DST will start at 2:00am on the second Sunday in March and will end at
2:00am on the first Sunday in November.
The DST feature is automatic, but to trigger the device to the correct time, the device must be
configured to the US time zone, not the GMT offset. To configure your device to use the US time
zone, enter the following command.
PowerConnect (config)# clock timezone us pacific
