DST (Daylight Savings Time) Change on Cisco Routers
by admin on Mar.12, 2007, under Networking, Routers
Had some routers automatically change and some routers not change there time this weekend so I put in a workaround to get them all to play nice with this DST change. These commands are for IOS.
Remove the line “clock summer-time CST recurring” from your config. (You might have to change the timezone in your command)
Add the following line “clock summer-time CST date Mar 11 2007 2:00 Nov 4 2007 2:00” this manually tells the router when to adjust for DST.
The time difference typically doesn’t affect the routers functionality but will cause syslog timestamp issues.
