System Time and Date

The commands in this chapter configure time values on the system, either using the Dell Networking Operating System (OS), or the

hardware, or using the network time protocol (NTP). With NTP, the switch can act only as a client to an NTP clock host.

For more information, refer to the “Network Time Protocol” section of the Management chapter in the Dell Networking OS Configuration
