Telnet Commands
date
Display or set system date and time.
Syntax
date ["newdate"]
Availability All users (display)
Admin (set)
Description Use this command with no operands to display date and time. Use
the
newdate operand to set the date and time. Date and time are
specified as a quoted string in the format:
"mmddhhmmyy"
where:
Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970-1999. Year values
less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069.
The date function does not support daylight saving time or time
zones.
All switches maintain current date and time in nonvolatile memory.
Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation does not
depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date value
still functions properly.
Operand This command has the following operand:
