# Setting the Time Zone (SRC CLI)

Use one of the following formats for the set time-zone command to set the time zone on a C Series Controller:

- (Recommended) Continent or nation with major city or province.

  To see a list of entries in this format, use the ? help at the CLI:

      [edit system]
      user@host# set time-zone ?
      Possible completions:
        Africa/Abidjan
        Africa/Accra
        Africa/Addis_Ababa
        Africa/Algiers
        Africa/Asmera
        Africa/Bamako
        Africa/Bangui
        Africa/Banjul
      . . .

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