nat time

Function

The nat time command sets the start time, end time, or timestamp in NAT syslogs to the local time or UTC time.

The undo nat time command deletes the setting of the local or UTC time for the start time, end time, or timestamp.

By default, a device displays the UTC time in flexible NAT syslogs.

This command is supported only on the NetEngine 8000 F1A.

Format

nat time { endtime-second-dec | endtime-second-hex | starttime-second-dec | starttime-second-hex | starttime } { local | utc }

nat time { timestamp-second-dec | timestamp-second-hex | timestamp } { local | utc }

undo nat time { endtime-second-dec | endtime-second-hex | starttime-second-dec | starttime-second-hex | starttime } { local | utc }

undo nat time { timestamp-second-dec | timestamp-second-hex | timestamp } { local | utc }

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The format of NAT syslog information can be flexibly configured. To configure a device to display the local time in NAT syslogs, run the nat time local command.

Prerequisites

A flexible NAT syslog template has been created, and the flexible log template view is displayed.

Precautions

The time format configured using the nat time command takes precedence over that configured using the nat time local command in the flexible log template view. If the nat time command is run, the time format of the end time, start time, or timestamp takes effect according to the configured format. If the nat time command is not run, the nat time local command takes effect. If neither the nat time command nor the nat time local command is run, the default UTC time takes effect.

Example

# Enable a device to display the UTC time in the starttime-second-dec field of NAT syslogs.
