Your First Login Session

All subsequent login sessions—including those through the 
console port—will require the new password in order to access 
the switch.

User Accounts. The switch allows a maximum of 50 user 
accounts in the local user database. For information on 
creating additional user types and assigning individual 
passwords, refer to the Switch Management Guide.

The switch’s default time zone is UTC (also referred to as 
Greenwich Mean Time). 

If you require a time zone that is specific to your region—or if 
you need to enable Daylight Savings Time (DST) on the 
switch—you can configure these settings via the system time-
zone and system daylight savings time commands. For exam-
ple, to set the system clock to run on Pacific standard time, 
enter the following command.

-> system timezone pst

To enable Daylight Savings time, enter the following 
command.

-> system daylight savings time enable

Many other time zone variables are supported. For detailed 
information on configuring a time zone for the switch, refer to 
your Switch Management Guide. 

Set the current time for the switch by entering system time, 
followed by the current time in hh:mm:ss. For example:

-> system time 18:35:00

The switch uses a 24-hour clock; the time value shown in the 
above example would set the time to 6:35 PM. 

To set the current date for the switch, enter system date, 
followed by the current date in mm/dd/yyyy. For example:

-> system date 06/27/2004
