1.3 Logging In to a Router Through TelnetTo configure the network environment, use Telnet to log in to the router from a terminal.

1.3.1 Establishing the Configuration TaskBefore configuring a router through Telnet, familiarize yourself with the applicableenvironment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for theconfiguration. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable EnvironmentTo configure and manage a router that is powered on for the first time, log in to the router throughTelnet.By default, the IP addresses of all LAN ports are 192.168.1.1, and the user name and passwordare admin. You can log in to the router using Telnet by connecting the PC network adapter toany LAN port of the router with the twisted pair.

Pre-configuration TasksBefore configuring a router through Telnet, complete the following tasks:l Obtaining the twisted pair that is used to connect to a LAN port of the router

Data PreparationNone.

1.3.2 Establishing a Physical ConnectionTo establish a physical connection between a PC and a router, use a twisted pair to connect thenetwork port of the PC to a LAN port of the device.



5

ProcedureStep 1 Power on all the devices and ensure a successful self-check.Step 2 Use the twisted pair to connect a LAN port of the router to the network port of a PC.Step 3 Configure an IP address and subnet mask for the network port of the PC. The IP address must

be within the network segment 192.168.1.0/24 (recommended: 192.168.1.100), and the subnetmask is 255.255.255.0.

Step 4 Check the physical connection. Ping 192.168.1.1 on the PC. If 192.168.1.1 can be pinged, thephysical connection has been established.

NOTE

l If the ping operation fails, check whether the PC IP address is correct ore replace the network cable.

----End

1.3.3 Logging In to the RouterTo configure and manage the router that is powered on for the first time, log in to the routerthrough Telnet.

2.1 CLI IntroductionAfter you log in to the router, a prompt is displayed and you can use the command line interface(CLI). Users can interact with the router through the CLI.

2.1.1 Command Line InterfaceYou can use CLI commands to configure and manage the router.The CLI provides users access to a number of features and capabilities:l Local configuration through the console port.l Local or remote configuration through Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH).l The telnet command for directly logging in to and managing other routers.l FTP service for file uploads and downloads.l A user interface view for specific configuration management.l Hierarchical command protection structure giving certain levels of users permission to run

certain levels of commands.l Three authentication modes are supported, namely, none-authentication, password

authentication, and Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) authentication.Password and AAA authentication protect system security by prohibiting unauthorizedusers from logging in to the router.

l Entering "?" for online help at any time.l Entering "?" for online help at any time.l A command line interpreter provides intelligent text entry methods such as key word fuzzy

match and context conjunction. These methods help users to enter commands easily andcorrectly.

l Network test commands such as tracert and ping for fast network diagnostics.l Abundant debugging information to with network diagnostics.l Running a command used previously on the device, like DosKey.

NOTE

l The system supports commands that contain a maximum of 512 characters. A command does not haveto be entered in full, as long as the part of the command entered is unique within the system. Forexample, to use the display current-configuration command, entering d cu, di cu, or dis cu will runthe command. Entering d c or dis c will not run the command, because these entries are not unique tothe command.

l The system saves the complete form of incomplete commands to configuration files. Saved commandsmay have more than 512 characters. When the system is restarted, incomplete commands cannot berestored. Therefore, pay attention to the full length of incomplete commands before saving them.

2.1.2 Command LevelsThe system structures access to command functions hierarchically to protect system security.The system administrator sets user access levels that grant specific users access to specificcommand levels.



8

By default, the command level of a user is a value ranging from 0 to 3, and the user access levelis a value ranging from 0 to 15. Table 2-1 lists the association between user access levels andcommand levels.

Table 2-1 Association between user access levels and command levelsUserLevel

LevelName

Description

0 0 Visitlevel

This level gives access to commands that run network diagnostictools (such as ping and tracert) and commands that start from alocal device, visit external devices (such as Telnet client side ),and a part of display commands.

1 0 and1

Monitoringlevel

This level gives access to commands, like the display command,that are used for system maintenance and fault diagnosis.NOTE

Some display commands are not at this level. For example, the displaycurrent-configuration and display saved-configuration commandsare at level 3. For details about command level, see Huawei AR150&200Series Enterprise Routers Command Reference.

2 0, 1,and 2

Configurationlevel

This level gives access to commands that configure networkservices provided directly to users, including routing andnetwork layer commands.

3-15 0, 1,2, and3

Managementlevel

This level gives access to commands that control basic systemoperations and provide support for services. These commandsinclude file system commands, FTP commands, TFTPcommands, configuration file switching commands, powersupply control commands, backup board control commands,user management commands, level setting commands, systeminternal parameter setting commands, and debugging commandsfor fault diagnosis.

NOTE

l The default command level may be higher than the command level defined according to the commandrules in application.

l The level of the command that a user can run is determined by the level of this user.l Login users have 16 levels. The login users can use only the command of the levels that are equal to

or lower than their own levels. The user privilege level level command sets the user level.

Searching Commands Based on Command LevelsYou can search for all commands at a specific level simultaneously. The procedure is as follows:1. Open the command reference (.chm.) file.2. Click the "Search" tab. The search window will be displayed as shown in Figure 2-1.

2.1.3 Command Line ViewsThe command line interface has different command views. Each command is registered to runin one or more command views. You can run a command only after you enter an appropriatecommand view.

The following example uses the user, system, and aaa views:# Establish a connection to the router. If the router is using the default configurations, the prompt indicates that you have entered the user view.

# Run the system-view command to enter the system view. system-view[Huawei]

# Run the aaa command in the system view to enter the AAA view.[Huawei] aaa[Huawei-aaa]



11

NOTE

l The command prompt "Huawei" is the default host name.l The prompt indicates a specific view. For example, "Huawei" indicates the user view, and

"[HUAWEI-ui-console0]" indicates the console user interface view.

Some commands can be used in more than one view, but their effects vary from view to view.

2.2 Online HelpWhen inputting command lines or configuring services, you can use the online help to obtainreal-time help.

2.2.1 Full HelpWhen inputting a command, you can use the full help function to obtain keywords or parametersfor the command.

Procedurel Use any of the following methods to obtain full help from a command line.

Enter a question mark (?) in any command line view to display command names andtheir descriptions for all commands of that view. ?User view commands: arp-ping ARP-ping autosave autosave command group backup Backup information cd Change current directory clock Specify the system clock cls Clear screen ......

Enter a command and a question mark (?) separated by a space. All keywords associatedwith this command, as well as simple descriptions, are displayed. For example:[Huawei] interface ?Bridge-if Bridge-if interface Cellular Cellular interface ......Bridge-if and Cellular are keywords; Bridge-if interface and Cellular interfacedescribe the keywords respectively. Enter a command and a question mark (?) separated by a space. Parameter names for

this command, as well as parameter descriptions, are displayed. For example:[Huawei] ftp timeout ? INTEGER The value of FTP timeout (in minutes)[Huawei] ftp timeout 35 ? [Huawei] ftp timeout 35In this command output, INTEGER describes the parameter value and Thevalue of FTP timeout, the default value is 30 minutes is a simple description of what



12

the parameter sets. A display of indicates that no parameters are associated withthis command. The command is repeated in the next command line. You can pressEnter to run the command.

----End

2.2.2 Partial HelpIf you enter only the first or first several characters of a command, partial help provides keywordsthat begin with this character or character string.

Procedurel Use any of the following methods to obtain partial help from a command line.

Enter a character string followed directly by a question mark (?) to display all commandsthat begin with this character string. d?debugging debugging command group delete Delete a file dialer Dialer dir List files on a filesystem display Display information

Enter a command and a character string followed directly by a question mark (?) todisplay all key words that begin with this character string. display b? bfd Specify BFD(Bidirectional Forwarding Detection ) configuration information bgp BGP information bootp Bootstrap Protocol bridge bridge command group

Enter the first several letters of a key word in the command and then press Tab to displaya complete key word. A complete keyword is displayed only if the partial string of lettersuniquely identifies a specific key word. If they do not identify a specific key work,continuing to press Tab will display different key words. You can select the needed keyword.

----End

2.2.3 Error Messages of the Command Line InterfaceIf a command is entered and passes the syntax check, the system executes it. Otherwise, thesystem reports an error message.Table 2-2 lists common error messages.

2.3 CLI FeaturesThe CLI provides several features to help users flexibly use it.

2.3.1 EditingThe command line editing function allows you to edit command lines or obtain help by usingcertain keys.The command line of AR150/200 supports multi-line edition. The maximum length of eachcommand is 512 characters.Keys for editing that are often used are shown in Table 2-3.

Table 2-3 Keys for editingKey FunctionCommon key Inserts a character at the current position of the cursor if the editing

buffer is not full. The cursor then moves to the right. If the bufferis full, an alarm is generated.

Backspace Moves the cursor to the left and deletes the character at thatposition. When the cursor reaches the head of the command, analarm is generated.

Left cursor key orCtrl_B

Moves the cursor to the left a single space at a time. When thecursor reaches the head of the command, an alarm is generated.

Right cursor key orCtrl_F

Moves the cursor to the right a single space at a time. When thecursor reaches the end of the command, an alarm is generated.



14

Key FunctionTab Press Tab after typing a partial key word and the system runs

partial help:l If the matching key word is unique, the system replaces the

typed character string with a complete key word and displaysit in a new line with the cursor placed at the end of the word.

l If there are several matches or no match, the system displaysthe prefix first. Then you can press Tab to view any matchingkey words one at a time. The cursor directly follows the end ofthe word. You can press the spacebar to enter the next word.

l If a non-existent or incorrect key word is entered, press Taband the word is displayed on a new line.

2.3.2 DisplayingCommand lines have a feature to control how they are displayed. You can set the command linedisplay mode as required.You can control the display of information on the CLI as follows:l If output information cannot be displayed on a full screen, you have three viewing options,

as shown in Table 2-4.

Table 2-4 Display keysKey FunctionCtrl_C Stops the display and the running of a command.

Space Allows information to be displayed on the next screen.Enter Allows information to be displayed on the next line.

2.3.3 Regular ExpressionsA regular expression describes a set of strings. It consists of common characters (such as lettersfrom "a" to "z") and special characters (called metacharacters). The regular expression is atemplate upon which you can base searches for required strings. Users can use regularexpressions to filter output to locate needed information quickly.A regular expression provides the following functions:l Search for sub-strings that match a rule in the main string.l String substitution based on specific matching rules.

Formal Language Theory of the Regular ExpressionA regular expression consists of common characters and special characters.



15

l Common charactersCommon characters, including all upper-case and lower-case letters, digits, punctuationmarks, and special symbols, match themselves in a string. For example, "a" matches theletter "a" in "abc", "202" matches the digit "202" in "202.113.25.155", and "@" matchesthe symbol "@" in "[email protected]".

l Special charactersSpecial characters are used together with common characters to match complex or specialstring combination. Table 2-5 describes special characters and their syntax.

Table 2-5 Description of special charactersSpecialcharacter

Syntax Example

\ Defines an escape character, whichis used to mark the next character(common or special) as the commoncharacter.

\* matches "*".

^ Matches the starting position of thestring.

^10 matches "10.10.10.1" instead of"20.10.10.1".

$ Matches the ending position of thestring.

1$ matches "10.10.10.1" instead of"10.10.10.2".

* Matches the preceding element zeroor more times.

10* matches "1", "10", "100", and"1000".(10)* matches "null", "10", "1010",and "101010".

+ Matches the preceding element oneor more times

10+ matches "10", "100", and"1000".(10)+ matches "10", "1010", and"101010".

? Matches the preceding element zeroor one time.

10? matches "1" and "10".(10)? matches "null" and "10".

. Matches any single character. 0.0 matches "0x0" and "020"..oo matches "book", "look", and"tool".

() Defines a subexpression, which canbe null. Both the expression and thesubexpression should be matched.

100(200)+ matches "100200" and"100200200".

x|y Matches x or y. 100|200 matches "100" or "200".1(2|3)4 matches "124" or "134",instead of "1234", "14", "1224", and"1334".



16

Specialcharacter

Syntax Example

[xyz] Matches any single character in theregular expression.

[123] matches the character 2 in"255".

[^xyz] Matches any character that is notcontained within the brackets.

[^123] matches any character exceptfor "1", "2", and "3".

[a-z] Matches any character within thespecified range.

[0-9] matches any character rangingfrom 0 to 9.

[^a-z] Matches any character beyond thespecified range.

[^0-9] matches all non-numericcharacters.

_ Matches a comma "," left brace "{",right brace "}", left parenthesis "(",and right parenthesis ")".Matches the starting position of theinput string.Matches the ending position of theinput string.Matches a space.

_2008_ matches "2008", "space2008 space", "space 2008", "2008space", ",2008,", "{2008}","(2008)", "{2008)", and "(2008}".

NOTE

Unless otherwise specified, all characters in the preceding table are displayed on the screen.l Degeneration of special characters

Certain special characters, when placed at certain positions in a regular expression,degenerate to common characters. The special characters following "\" match special characters themselves. The special characters "*", "+", and "?" placed at the starting position of the regular

expression. For example, +45 matches "+45" and abc(*def) matches "abc*def". The special character "^" placed at any position except for the start of the regular

expression. For example, abc^ matches "abc^". The special character "$" placed at any position except for the end of the regular

expression. For example, 12$2 matches "12$2". A right parenthesis ")" or right bracket "]" is not paired with a corresponding left

parenthesis "(" or bracket "[". For example, abc) matches "abc)" and 0-9] matches"0-9]".NOTE

Unless otherwise specified, degeneration rules also apply when preceding regular expressions aresubexpressions within parentheses.

l Combinations of common and special charactersIn actual usage, regular expressions combine multiple common and special characters tomatch certain strings.



17

Specifying a Filtering Mode in a Command

CAUTIONThe Huawei AR150&200 Series uses a regular expression to implement the pipe characterfiltering function. A display command supports the pipe character only when there is excessiveoutput information.When filtering conditions are set to query output, the first line of the command output starts withinformation containing the regular expression.

Some commands can carry the parameter | count to display the number of matching entries. Theparameter | count can be used together with other parameters.For commands that support regular expressions, three filtering methods are as follows:l | begin regular-expression: displays information that begins with the line that matches

regular expression.l | exclude regular-expression: displays information that excludes the lines that match

regular expression.l | include regular-expression: displays information that includes the lines that match regular

expression.NOTE

The value of regular-expression is a string of 1 to 255 characters.regular-expression cannot containunderlines (_).

2.3.4 Previously-Used CommandsThe CLI provides a function similar to DosKey that automatically saves any command used onthe device. If you need to run a command that has been previously executed, you can use thisfunction to call up the command.

By default, the system saves 10 previously-used commands for each user. You can run thehistory-command max-size size-value command in the user view to set the number ofpreviously-used commands saved by the system. A maximum of 256 previously-used commandscan be saved.

NOTESetting the number of saved previously-used commands to a reasonably low value is recommended. If alarge number of previously-used commands are saved, locating a command can be time-consuming andaffect efficiency.

The operations are shown in Table 2-6



18

Table 2-6 Access the previously-used commandsAction Key or Command ResultDisplaypreviously-usedcommands.

display history-command

Display previously-used commands entered byusers.

Access the lastpreviously-usedcommand.

Up cursor key () orCtrl_P

Display the last previously-used command if thereis an earlier previously-used command. Otherwise,an alarm is generated.

Access the nextpreviously-usedcommand.

Down cursor key() or Ctrl_N

Display the next previously-used command if thereis a later previously-used command. Otherwise, thecommand is cleared and an alarm is generated.

NOTE

Windows 9X defines keys differently and the cursor key is cannot be used with Windows 9XHyperTerminals. You may use Ctrl_P instead.

When you use previously-used commands, note the following points:l Previously-used commands are saved exactly as they are entered by users. For example, if

a user enters an incomplete command, the saved command is also incomplete.l A command is saved the first time it is run and subsequent runnings are not saved. If a

command is entered in different forms or with different parameters, each entry is consideredto be a different command.For example, if the display ip routing-table command is run several times, only onepreviously-used command is saved. If the display current-configuration command andthe display ip routing-table command are run, two previously-used commands are saved.

2.4 Shortcut KeysSystem or user-defined shortcut keys make it easier to enter commands.

2.4.1 Classifying Shortcut KeysThere are two types of shortcut keys: system shortcut keys and user-defined shortcut keys.Familiarize yourself with shortcut keys so as to use them correctly.The shortcut keys in the system are classified into the following types:l User-defined shortcut keys: CTRL_G, CTRL_L, CTRL_O, and CTRL_U. The user can

assign these shortcut keys to any commands. When a shortcut key is pressed, the systemautomatically runs the assigned command. For details about defining the shortcut keys, see2.4.2 Defining Shortcut Keys.

l System-defined shortcut keys: The system defines a number of shortcut keys with fixedfunctions. Table 2-7 lists the system-defined shortcut keys.



19

NOTE

Different terminal software defines these keys differently. The shortcut keys on your terminal may bedifferent than those listed in this section.

Table 2-7 System-defined shortcut keysKey FunctionCTRL_A The cursor moves to the beginning of the current line.CTRL_B The cursor moves to the left one space at a time.CTRL_C Terminates the running function.CTRL_D Deletes the character where the cursor lies.CTRL_E The cursor moves to the end of the current line.CTRL_F The cursor moves to the right one space at a time.CTRL_H Deletes one character to the left of the cursor.CTRL_N Displays the next command in the previously-used command

buffer.CTRL_P Displays the previous command in the previously-used

command buffer.CTRL_W Deletes a character string or character to the left of the cursor.CTRL_X Deletes all the characters to the left of the cursor.CTRL_Y Deletes all the characters to the right of the cursor.CTRL_Z Returns to the user view.CTRL_] Terminates the inbound or redirection connections.ESC_B The cursor moves to the left by one word.ESC_D Deletes a word to the right of the cursor.ESC_F The cursor moves to the right to the end of next word.

2.4.2 Defining Shortcut KeysIf you use one or more commands regularly, you can assign shortcut keys to run these commands.This facilitates user operations and improves efficiency. Only management-level users have therights to define shortcut keys.Configure these shortcut keys in the system view.

Action CommandDefine shortcut keys hotkey { CTRL_G | CTRL_L | CTRL_O | CTRL_U }

command-text



20

CTRL_G, CTRL_L and CTRL_O are assigned to run the following commands by default:l CTRL_G: display current-configurationl CTRL_L: undo idle-timeoutl CTRL_O: undo debugging allBy default, CTRL_U is not assigned to any command.When defining shortcut keys, mark the command with double quotation marks if the commandconsists of several words or the command includes spaces, and do not mark the command withdouble quotation marks if the command consists of only one word or the command includes nospace.

NOTE

To restore the defaults, run the undo hotkey command.

2.4.3 Use of Shortcut KeysYou can use a shortcut key at any position where a command can be entered. The system executesan entered shortcut key and displays the corresponding command on the screen exactly as if youhad entered in the complete command.l If you have typed part of a command and have not pressed Enter, you can press the shortcut

keys to clear what you have entered and display the full command. This operation has thesame effect as that of deleting a command and then re-entering the complete command.

l The shortcut keys are run like the commands. The syntax is recorded to the command bufferand logged for fault location and querying.

NOTE

The terminal in use may affect the functions of shortcut keys. For example, if customized shortcut keysfor the terminal conflict with those for the router, the input shortcut keys are captured by the terminalprogram and hence the shortcut keys do not function.

Run the following command in any view to display the use of shortcut keys.

Action CommandCheck the usage of shortcut keys. display hotkey

2.5 Configuration ExamplesThis section provides several examples that illustrate the use of command lines.

2.5.1 Example for Using TabThis example shows how to use the Tab key. After inputting an incomplete keyword, you canpress Tab and obtain all related keywords or check the accuracy of the input keyword.



21

ContextYou do not always need to input complete keywords. Instead, input one or more of the firstcharacters of a keyword and press Tab to complete the keyword. The Tab key helps search forand use commands.

Procedurel Tab can be used in three ways as shown in the following example.

After the incomplete key word is input and the Tab key is pressed, a unique matchingkey word is displayed.1. Input the incomplete key word.

[Huawei] info-

2. Press Tab.The system replaces the incomplete input with a single key word and displays itin a new line with the cursor leaving a space behind.[Huawei] info-center

After the incomplete key word is input and the Tab key is pressed, several matches aredisplayed or no match is displayed.# Several prefixes beginning with log can follow the keyword info-center.[Huawei] info-center log? logbuffer Setting of log buffer configuration logfile logfile command group loghost Setting of logging host configuration

1. Input the incomplete key word.[Huawei] info-center log

2. Press Tab.The system first displays the prefix log.[Huawei] info-center logbuffer

Press Tab repeatedly to select the keywords one at a time. The cursor is placeddirectly after the end of each keyword.[Huawei] info-center logfile[Huawei] info-center loghost

Stop pressing Tab after the keyword logfile that you need is displayed.3. Input a space to enter the next word path.

[Huawei] info-center logfile path

Input an incorrect keyword and press Tab to check the correctness of the keyword.1. Input a wrong keyword loglog.

[Huawei] info-center loglog

2. Press Tab.[Huawei] info-center loglog

The system displays information in a new line, but the keyword loglog remainsunchanged and there is no space between the cursor and the keyword, indicatingthat this keyword is non-existent.

----End



22

2.5.2 Example for Using Shortcut KeysIn this example, shortcut keys are assigned to frequently-used commands. You can press theshortcut keys instead of inputting the commands. This facilitates user operations and improvesefficiency.

ContextIf the login router supports shortcut keys, any user regardless of user level can use these shortcutkeys.

ProcedureStep 1 Correlate Ctrl_U with the display local-user command and run the shortcut keys.

system-view[Huawei] hotkey ctrl_u "display local-user"

NOTE

When defining shortcut keys for a command, use double quotation marks to quote the command if thecommand consisting of multiple words, which are separated by spaces. No double quotation marks arerequired for single-word commands.

Step 2 Press Ctrl_U when the prompt [Huawei] appears.[Huawei] display local-user---------------------------------------------------------------------------- User-name State AuthMask AdminLevel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- admin A H - root A A - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 2 user(s)

3.1 Configuring the Basic System EnvironmentThis section describes how to configure the basic system environment.

3.1.1 Establishing the Configuration TaskBefore configuring the basic system environment, familiarize yourself with the applicableenvironment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain any data required for theconfiguration. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and correctly.

Applicable EnvironmentBefore configuring services, you need to configure the basic system environment (such as timeand device name) to meet the environment requirement.

Pre-configuration TasksBefore configuring the basic system environment, complete the following task:l Powering on the router

Data PreparationTo configure the basic system environment, you need the following data.

No. Data1 System time2 Host name3 Login information4 Command level

3.1.2 Configuring the Equipment NameIf multiple devices on a network need to be managed, set equipment names to identify eachdevice.

ContextNew equipment names take effect immediately.

ProcedureStep 1 Run:

system-view



25

The system view is displayed.Step 2 Run:

sysname host-name

The equipment name is set.By default, the equipment name of the router is Huawei.You can change the name of the router that appears in the command prompt.----End

3.1.3 Setting the System ClockThe system clock must be correctly set to ensure synchronization with other devices.

ContextThe system clock is the time indicated by the system timestamp. Because the rules governinglocal time differ in different regions, the system clock can be configured to comply with therules of any given region.The system clock is calculated using the following formula: System clock = CoordinatedUniversal Time (UTC) + Time zone offset + Daylight saving time offset.Set the system clock to the correct time to ensure that the device operates properly with otherdevices.Perform the following steps in the user view to set the system clock:

ProcedureStep 1 Run:

clock datetime HH:MM:SS YYYY-MM-DD

The current date and time is set.NOTEIf the time zone has not been configured or is set to 0, the date and time set by this command are consideredto be UTC. Set the time zone and UTC correctly.

Step 2 Run:clock timezone time-zone-name { add | minus } offset

The time zone is set.l If add is configured, the current time is the UTC time plus the time offset. That is, the default

UTC time plus offset is equal to the time of time-zone-name.l If minus is configured, the current time is the UTC time minus the time offset. That is, the

default UTC time minus offset is equal to the time of time-zone-name.Step 3 Run:

clock daylight-saving-time time-zone-name one-year start-time start-date end-time end-date offset

orclock daylight-saving-time time-zone-name repeating start-time { { first | second | third | fourth | last } weekday month | start-date } end-time { { first |



26

second | third | fourth | last } weekday month | end-date } offset [ start-year [ end-year ] ]

Daylight saving time is set.By default, daylight saving time is not set.Use one of these modes to configure the starting date and ending date for daylight saving time:date+date, week+week, date+week, and week+date. For details, see clock daylight-saving-time.

NOTEIf the daylight saving time is used, the clock timezone time-zone-name { add | minus } offset commandcan be executed to set the time zone name. The display clock command displays the daylight saving timename. After the daylight saving time is complete, the original time zone name is displayed.

----End

System Clock DisplayThe system clock is determined by the clock datetime, clock timezone, and clock daylight-saving-time commands.l If none of the preceding three commands have been run, the original system time will be

displayed after running the display clock command.l The preceding three commands can also be run in combination with one another to

configure the system clock, as listed in Table 3-1.In the following examples, the original system time is 08:00:00 January 1, 2010.l 1: The clock datetime command is run to set the current date and time to date-time.l 2: The clock timezone command is run to configure the time zone with the time zone offset

zone-offset.l 3: The clock daylight-saving-time command is run to configure the daylight saving time

with the offset offset.l [1]: The clock datetime command configuration is optional.
