show time
Description
Shows the current time on the switch.
Syntax Description
detail | In addition to the current time, this option shows boot time, time zone, and the clock source. |
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
The date, time, time zone abbreviation, and offset from UTC appear in the following format: <weekday_abbreviation> <month_abbreviation> <day_of_month> <HH:MM:SS> <timezone>(UTC<+|-><utc_offset>) <year>
Current Time: <current_time> Boot Time: <boot_time> Timezone: <DST_status> <GMT_offset> <timezone_name> <DST_in_effect> <DST_begin> <DST_end> Source: [Local | NTP | SNTP] <ntp_peer_mode> <sntp_ntp_address>
<ntp_peer_mode> is only valid when the source is NTP. <ntp_peer_mode> can be any of the following:
- Symmetric Active
- Symmetric Passive
- Client, Server
- Broadcast Server
- Control, Private
- Broadcast Client
<sntp_ntp_address> is the peer address when source is NTP. <sntp_ntp_address> is the server address when source is SNTP.
The source is determined as follows:
If SNTP is enabled and active, SNTP is assumed to be the clock source. Otherwise, if NTP peer mode is not zero (unspecified) and the peer address is not 0.0.0.0, NTP is assumed to be the clock source. Otherwise, the clock source is local.
Example
The following example shows detailed time information on the switch:
