Configuring Date and Time
A Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch uses Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), which is the same as
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). To change the default time on the switch, enter the clock command from
EXEC mode.
switch# clock set <HH:MM:SS> <DD> <Month in words> <YYYY>
The following example sets the time on the switch:
switch# clock set 15:58:09 23 May 2005
Mon May 23 15:58:09 UTC 2005
Where HH represents hours in military format (15 for 3 p.m.), MM is minutes (58), SS is seconds (09),
DD is the date (23), Month is the month in words (May), and YYYY is the year (2005).
Note
The clock command changes are saved across system resets.

You can specify a time zone for the switch.
To specify the local time without the daylight savings feature, perform this task:
Command
