Cisco designed the DST Rules Feature to accommodate the new U.S. rules and to
provide support for changing time on the dates that are appropriate in different
parts of the world. Cisco has added parameters to system and client software to
define the rules for the DST time extension.

The DNCS relies on Solaris for time keeping; therefore, the Solaris patches are
critical to ensure a smooth transition to DST. To support the DST Rules Feature it is
necessary to install Solaris 8 patches for Cisco products that use the Solaris 8
operating system.
