Setting the time zone using the CLI

Use the CLI commands in this topic to set the time zone on your Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliance.

Prerequisites

Admin access

To set the time zone:

Go to CLI configuration mode:

hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal

To specify the time zone, use the clock timezone <timezone> command.
For example, both of the following commands set the time zone to Pacific Standard Time:
```
hostname (config) # clock timezone UTC-offset UT
```
```
hostname (config) # clock timezone America North United_States Pacific
```
Note
The time zone is for display purposes and should match other security device settings.
Restore the default time zone:
```
hostname (config) # no clock timezone
```
View the configured time and date settings:
```
hostname (config) # show clock
```
Save your changes:
```
hostname (config) # write memory
```
