Nitro, Setting time zone should never depend on when you take the lab! Similarly, just imagine, if you are to install a real production router, you should configure it so that the router will show the time correctly, both in Summer, as well as in Winter. The configuration should not depend on when the router is first installed. The online IOS help is quite usefull and clear on this Rack1R1(config)#clock summer-time ? WORD name of time zone in *summer* This is something to do with English, which I am not very good at. Do you guys call time in Summer as daylight saving time, and not standard time, right? So I guess, you should not use PST as your timezone name in summer! I mean, never use clock summer-time PST …. In stead, use PST as standard time, which define how many hours you are ahead or behind GMT, e.g. clock timezone PST -11 clock summer-time DST recurring 1 Sun Mar 2:00 4 Sun Nov 2:00 Note that all the numbers, days, and time I use above are all imaginative, just to demonstrate the use of clock command. It should not be correct for actual US PST and DST time zone. It could however coincide with the time zone of a very tiny island somewhere in the pacific :–))

Hi Folks,
When setting the time zone and daylight savings
1.) clock summer-time PDT recurring > used during summer-time 2.) clock summer-time PST recurring > used during non summer-time
If i am taking lab during summer-time, i just use command PDT option 1 ?
Cheers Nit
