set ntpserver{< ip-address> | <hostname>} [<ip-address> | <hostname> ]
Specifies the IP address or hostname of a primary and secondary Network Time Protocol (NTP)
server. Hostnames must be fully qualified if specified.
clear ntpserver
Clears the NTP servers IP address or hostnames. This command also disables the NTP service if it
was enabled.
set ntp on | off
Enables and disables the NTP service.
set datetime <date> <time>
Manually sets the current local date and time.
This command also disables the NTP service if it was enabled.
Caution:
It is important that the system time be kept accurate, and the time should not be set
backwards, either manually or by NTP, while the system is in operation. A backwards change in
the time of day may cause certain internal time-outs to take longer than normal, and previously
expired and logged off users may be made to appear active, until the system moves beyond the
time these users logged off or had their rights expire. Therefore, if a backwards time change is
necessary (for example, to return from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time) it should be done
during times when system usage is low to minimize any potential disruptions.
show time
Note: Even though you can only configure the time and timezone of an Access Controller from a
Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager, you can use the show time command from an
Access Controller to view the time and timezone settings.
Shows the current date and time, configured time zone and NTP servers. Output from this
command is similar to the following:
Timezone: America/Los_Angeles
<general-tz> The less specific portion of the timezone string. If the
timezone is “America/Los_Angeles”, the general portion is
“America”. Case-sensitive.
<specific-tz> The more specific portion of the timezone string. If the
timezone is “America/Los_Angeles” the specific portion is
“Los_Angeles”. Case-sensitive.
<ip-address> An NTP server IP address.
<hostname> An NTP server hostname. This must be a fully qualified
domain name.
<date> The current date in yyyy/mm/dd format
<time> The current time in h24:mm format.
