Time Zone Issue
Starting with the F.05.xx version of the switch operating system software, the method of configuring
the Time Zone for TimeP or SNTP configuration has been updated. Previous switch software, for all
HP ProCurve switches, used positive time offset values for time zones that are West of GMT and
negative values for time zones that are East of GMT. The standards indicate that time zones West of
GMT should be designated by negative offset values, and time zones East of GMT by positive values.
