Hello Laz,
A few questions.

  1. Let’s say I have a router that is configured to receive the ntp information from a ntp server located in the internet. I have also configured the time locally by using clock set command. Which time will have more preference? In another words, which time the router will use?
  2. What is the command to change time-zone in a router?
  3. Let’s say a router is configured to sync its time from a ntp server and the ntp server is feeding UTC time to the router. However, I like the router to show EST time in the clock or let’s say in syslog message as well. How can I do it?
  4. What is the difference between hardware and software clock in a router/switch?

Thank you so much as usual for your great help .

Best Regards,
Azm Uddin
