Switch clock/time

[mstyfernandez]

Hi,

Can anybody please advise on the configuration for the clock on these 2960 S switches?

We have used:

clock timezone GMT 0

clock summert-time bst recurring

When you do 'Show Log' the clock is an hour behind.  When you do 'Show Clock' it shows the right time.

We tried:

clock timezone GMT 0

clock summer-time BST recurring last Sun Mar 1:00 last Sun Oct 1:00

and again when you do 'Show Log' it is an hour behind, although it acknowledges the config change:

Sep 7 09:15:06:  %SYS-6-CLOCKUPDATE: System clock has been updated from 10:15:06 bst wed Sep 7 2011 to 10:15:06 BST Wed Sep 7 2011, configured from console by.......

How do you get the log to reflect the real time?

TIA

Trish.

What have you got set in your service timestamps log command?

There is a show-timezone option that may help you - you may also need the localtime option as I think by default it will use UTC

James,

we have:

service timestamps debug uptime

service timestamps log datetime

clock timezone GMT 0

Change the "0" value you have to the correct timezone.  For example, for Australia we use "clock timezone AEST 10" because we are +10 from GMT.

Another thing is the following lines:

service timestamps debug datetime localtime show-timezone
service timestamps log datetime localtime show-timezone
