Managing the System Date and Time

Managing the System Date and Time
You can configure the controller to obtain the date and time from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server,
or you can configure the date and time manually. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is used as the standard
for setting the time zone on the controller.

Configuring an NTP Server to Obtain the Date and Time

Each NTP server IP address is added to the controller database. Each controller searches for an NTP
server and obtains the current time upon reboot and at each user-defined polling interval (daily to
weekly).
Use these commands to configure an NTP server to obtain the date and time:
1.
2.

Configuring the Date and Time Manually

or CLI.
