Usage Guidelines

To view the current date and time on a device, run the display clock command. The command output helps you check whether the system time is correct and whether the time needs to be adjusted.

If you have set the daylight saving time using the clock daylight-saving-time command, run the display clock command to view information about the summer time. If you do not set the daylight saving time before using the display clock command, summer time information is not displayed.

In VS mode, this command is supported only by the admin VS.

Example

The actual command output varies according to the device. The command output here is only an example.
