hh:mm:ss

Current time (for example, 13:32:00).

day

Usage Guidelines

To set the date and time, use the set option.

If you configure the system to use Network Time Protocol (NTP), you do not need 

to set the system clock manually using the clock command.

When setting the clock, enter the current time in Coordinated Universal Time 

(UTC). The system uses only UTC for keeping and displaying the time and date.

Example

This command sets the date and time:

clock set 13:32:00 apr 22 2000

Tue Dec 11 16:00:00 UTC 2001
