2611 clock?

[dan.tesch]

My clock keeps resetting to Mar. 1993 when I reboot.

I reset it once and have tried to get it to sync with

ntp but ultimately it resets after a boot.

I thought it might be a dead battery but could not find one on the main board -- ??

Thanks!

Many of the lower end routers do not have built in clocks that maintain time through a reboot. Their behavior is to start their clock from an arbitrary time, which is what you are observing.

In general the best solution for these routers is NTP. You mention that you tried to get your router to sync via NTP. If you are looking for a reliable way to have the router have accurate time I suggest that you work on getting NTP to work. Was there some problem when you tried NTP?

Many lower-end routers (for example, the Cisco 2500 series or the Cisco 2600 series) do not have system calendars, so this command is not available on those platforms.

To force a single update of the system calendar from the system clock, use the clock update-calendar command.
