Set date and time Use date and time settings for logging events, error detection, and troubleshooting. However, device operation does not depend on the date and time; a device with incorrect date or time values still functions properly. You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) device to that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. 1 Log in to the device as admin. 2 Enter the date newdate command at the command line. The newdate variable specifies the new date and time enclosed in double quotation marks. The operand is optional; if omitted, the current date and time displays. Date and time are specified as a string in the mmddhhmmyy format: • mm: Specifies the month. Valid values are 01-12. • dd: Specifies the date. Valid values are 01-31. • hh: Specifies the hour. Valid values are 00-23. • mm: Specifies the minutes. Valid values are 00-59. • yy: Specifies the year. Valid values are 00-37 and 70-99. Year values from 70 to 99 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year values from 00 to 37 are interpreted as 2000-2037. device:admin> date Thu Dec 22 14:05:10 UTC 2016 device:admin> date "1222140616" Thu Dec 22 14:06:00 UTC 2016 Set time zone The default time zone is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
