The tsClockServer command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4, IPv6, or DNS name
formats. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed, tsclockserver sets the first obtainable
address as the active NTP server. The rest are stored as backup servers that can take over if the active
NTP server fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with the NTP server every
64 seconds.
Setting the date
Perform the following steps to set the date on the switch.
1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Enter the date command, using the following syntax:
date "mmddHHMMyy"
The values are:
• mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
• dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
• HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
• MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
• yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970
through 1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069).

Setting time zones
You must perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set. However, you only
need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile memory.
Use one of the two following procedures to set the time zone.
The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using timezone_fmt mode to
Central Standard time.
1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]
Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID, such as PST.
The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Central.
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Pacific
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Central
