System Time and Date

Overview

The commands in this chapter configure time values on the system, either using FTOS, 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 details, see the “Network Time Protocol” section of the Management chapter in

the FTOS Configuration Guide.

The commands in this chapter are generally supported on all Dell Force10 platforms. The symbols

c s z under command headings or Command History indicate which Dell Force10 platforms —

E-Series, C-Series, S-Series or Z-Series, respectively — support the command.
