Information
You can change the order of the month and day parameters to enter the time and
date as time day month year.
In the switch, the hardware clock is separate from the software and is called the
calendar. This hardware clock runs continuously. After the hardware clock (the
calendar) is set, the Dell Networking OS automatically updates the software clock
after system bootup. You cannot delete the hardware clock (calendar).
To manually update the software with the hardware clock, use the clock read-
calendar
command.
