Verifying the Module Status
Before you begin configuring the switch, you need to ensure that the modules in the chassis are
functioning as designed.
To verify the status of a module at any time, issue the show module command in EXEC mode. A sample
output of the show module command follows:
switch# show module

* this terminal session
If the status is OK or active, you can continue with your configuration (see
Modules").
Configuring Date, Time, and Time Zone
Switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), which is the same as
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
To change the default time on the switch, issue the clock command from EXEC mode:
switch# clock set {HH:MM:SS DD Month-in-words YYYY}
For example:
switch# clock set 15:58:09 23 September 2002
Mon Sep 23 15:58:09 UTC 2002
