z Commands

zone

Syntax

zone {std-zone-name | non-std-zone-name} [ hh [:mm]]

no zone

Context

[Tree] (config>system>time zone)

Full Context

configure system time zone

Description

This command sets the time zone and/or time zone offset for the device.

The SR OS supports system-defined and user-defined time zones. The system-defined time zones are listed in the Time Zones section.

For user-defined time zones, the zone and the UTC offset must be specified.

The no form of the command reverts to the default of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). If the time zone in use was a user-defined time zone, the time zone will be deleted. If a dst-zone command has been configured that references the zone, the summer commands must be deleted before the zone can be reset to UTC.

Default

zone UTC 00

Parameters

std-zone-name

Specifies the standard time zone name. The standard name must be a system-defined zone in the Time Zones section. For zone names in the table that have an implicit summer time setting, for example MDT for Mountain Daylight Saving Time, the remaining start-date, end-date and offset parameters do not need to be provided unless it is necessary to override the system defaults for the time zone.

For system-defined time zones, a different offset cannot be specified. If a new time zone is needed with a different offset, the user must create a new time zone. Note that some system-defined time zones have implicit summer time settings which causes the switchover to summer time to occur automatically; configuring the config>system>time dst-zone command is not required.

A user-defined time zone name is case-sensitive and can be up to 5 characters in length.

Values: A user-defined value can be up to 5 characters or one of the following values: GMT, WET, CET, EET, EEST, MSK, MSD, AST, NST, EST, CST, MST, PST, HST, AKST, AWST, ACST, AEST, NZST, UTC

non-std-zone-name: Specifies the non-standard time zone name. The name can be up to 5 characters.

hh [:mm]

Specifies the hours and minutes offset from UTC time, expressed as integers. Some time zones do not have an offset that is an integral number of hours. In these instances, the minutes-offset must be specified. For example, the time zone in Pirlanngimpi, Australia UTC + 9.5 hours.

Values: hours: -11 to 12 minutes: 0 to 59

Default: hours: 0 minutes: 0
