Configure Cisco IOS switch for Daylight Savings Time

Last Updated: 4/19/11

Here is the configuration I used for my timezone (PDT-8) to allow Cisco our switches and routers to display the right time.



conf terminal

ntp server us.pool.ntp.org
ip name-server <dns ip>

clock timezone PDT -8
clock summer-time PDT recurring 2 Sun Mar 2:00 1 Sun Nov 2:00 60

service timestamps log datetime



The first part is to enable ntp. The second part is to enable the timezone and DST. Note the 60 on the end is an implied default and does not have to be included. The third part tells the cisco device to use actual time stamps for event logs instead of uptime.
