  • GMT offset to set the time zone relative to UTC (GMT) time in the format /Etc/ GMToffset . Time zone files are stored in the /Etc directory.
  • A common zone such as UTC, MDT, or EST.

To modify the local time zone:

  1. In configuration mode at the [edit system] hierarchy level, set the time zone.
      [edit system]
      user@host# set time-zone time-zone

    For example, to set the time zone for New York:

      [edit system]
      user@host# set system time-zone America/New_York

     

  2. Verify the configuration. For example: 
    [edit system]
user@host# show
time-zone America/New_York;
    

    3. 

  3. For the time zone change to take effect for all processes
running on the system, reboot the system.
