Setting the Time Zone

The default local time zone on the router is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, formerly known as Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT). To modify the local time zone, include the time-zone statement at the [edit system] hierarchy level:



[edit system]

time-zone (GMT<(+ | –)hour-offset> | time-zone);

You can use the GMT<(+ | –)hour-offset> option to set the time zone relative to UTC (GMT) time. By default, hour-offset is null (that is, the default is GMT without an offset). You can configure the offset to be a value in the range from –14 to +12.

You can also specify time-zone as a string such as PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) or WET (Western European Time), or specify the continent and major city.

For the time zone change to take effect for all processes running on the router, you must reboot the router.
