Usage Information
You can change the order of the month and day parameters to enter the time and
date as time day month year. You cannot delete the software clock.
The software clock runs only when the software is up. The clock restarts, based on
the hardware clock, when the switch reboots.
Dell Networking recommends using an outside time source, such as NTP, to
ensure accurate time on the switch.
