Time on the router.
I would like to have a clock that keeps time on the router - even after a power down/up and reload. Routers in question are 3660s and 2610s. I've been told they do not have a hardware clock - hence I can not use the calendar set command.
I don't necessarily want to deal with NTP - it just bewilders me about this whole clock deal. Who would not want to know the date and time certain events happened? Is this by design? Am I off my rocker? Or am I just one of multitudes that thinks this is silly (if true)? I feel a bit dense for asking such a question, but as an IOS newbie (from Nortel world) I have no choice.
Can somebody steer me straight on this?
Appreciate the help.
