Configuring the Time Zone
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to manually configure the time zone:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
clock timezone zone hours-offset
[minutes-offset]
Step 3
end
Step 4
show running-config
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
The minutes-offset variable in the clock timezone global configuration command is available for those
cases where a local time zone is a percentage of an hour different from UTC. For example, the time zone
for some sections of Atlantic Canada (AST) is UTC-3.5, where the 3 means 3 hours and .5 means 50
percent. In this case, the necessary command is clock timezone AST -3 30.
To set the time to UTC, use the no clock timezone global configuration command.

•
standard time is in effect. The default is UTC.
For hours-offset, enter the hours offset from UTC.
•
(Optional) For minutes-offset, enter the minutes offset from UTC.

Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
