Overview

You can use the clock commands to set the time and date on your system manually. These commands allow you to specify settings such as the source of the time, the time zone, and dates for seasonal time changes.

You can configure your router to update its clock automatically by configuring it as a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client. NTP provides a method of synchronizing the system clocks of hosts on the Internet to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Using NTP allows the system to record accurate times of events. You can view the log file of events to monitor the status of the network.

Since there is only one system clock, you can configure an NTP client on one virtual router only. Other virtual routers obtain clock parameters from the system clock. However, multiple virtual routers can act as NTP servers.
