System Information
Reconfigure the Age Time for Learned MAC Addresses. This com-
mand corresponds to the MAC Age Interval in the menu interface, and is
expressed in seconds.
Syntax: mac-age-time <10 . . 1000000> (seconds)
For example, to configure the age time to seven minutes:
HPswitch(config)# mac-age-time 420
Configure the Time Zone and Daylight Time Rule. These commands:
■ Set the time zone you want to use
■ Define the daylight time rule for keeping the correct time when daylight-
saving-time shifts occur.
Syntax: time timezone <-720 . . 840>
time daylight-time-rule <none | alaska | continental-us-and-canada |
middle-europe-and-portugal | southern-hemisphere | western-europe |
user-defined>
East of the 0 meridian, the sign is “+”. West of the 0 meridian, the sign is “-”.
For example, the time zone setting for Berlin, Germany is +60 (zone +1, or 60
minutes), and the time zone setting for Vancouver, Canada is -480 (zone -8, or
-480 minutes). To configure the time zone and daylight time rule for Vancouver,
Canada:
HPswitch(config)# time timezone -480 daylight-time-rule
continental-us-and-canada
Configure the Time and Date. The switch uses the time command to con-
figure both the time of day and the date. Also, executing time without param-
eters lists the switch’s time of day and date. Note that the CLI uses a 24-hour
clock scheme; that is, hour (hh) values from 1 p.m. to midnight are input as
13 - 24, respectively.
Syntax: time [hh:mm[:ss]] [mm/dd/ [yy]yy]
For example, to set the switch to 9:45 a.m. on November 17, 2002:
HPswitch(config)# time 9:45 11/17/02
Note Executing reload or boot resets the time and date to their default startup values.
