Setting the time zone using the CLI

Use the CLI commands in this topic to set the time zone on your Endpoint Security (HX) 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
```
