Setting the date and time
The MP Router maintains the current date and time in nonvolatile memory. The date and time are
used for logging events. Set the correct date and time (and time zone) for the MP Router to prevent
management interfaces, such as Advanced Web Tools, from displaying incorrect event times.
Additionally, you can synchronize the local time of the Principal or Primary Fabric Configuration
Server (FCS) switch to an external NTP server using the tsclockserver command.
NOTE: The date and tsclockserver commands are disabled when the security feature is
enabled. With security enabled you can only view the current date setting unless the commands are
performed on the primary FCS switch.
To set the date and time of the MP Router:
1. Log in to the MP Router as admin.
2. Enter the date command, including values for the century, year, month, date, hour, minute, and
second.
