Cisco: clock

With clock you can set the current time and date on a Cisco device. For example:

clock set 20:08:56 Sept 21 2010

The generic syntax of the command is:

clock set hh:mm:ss MONTH <0-31> YYYY

...where:

• hh is the hour,
• mm are the minutes,
• ss are the seconds,
• MONTH is the month,
• <0-31> is the date, an integer between 0 and 31, and
• YYYY is the year.

Note that the month and date are also acceptable in the reverse order, for example:

clock set 20:08:56 21 Sept 2010
