How to set the time and date
There are three aspects to setting the time and date:
■
setting the current time and date (
“How to set the time and date” on page 1.20
)
■
setting the timezone (
“How to set the timezone” on page 1.20
)
■
configuring the switch to automatically change the time when summer-time begins and
ends (
“How to configure summer-time” on page 1.21

Instead of manually setting the time, you can use NTP to automatically get the time from
another device.
