Nexus 5000: Configure CEST

Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:07:52 +0000

Since I’m living and working in Germany, most of my hardware is using timezone configuration for CEST (or Europe/Berlin).

This here is the simple configuration for our Nexus 5000’s:

1
2
3
4
5


conf t
clock timezone CET 1 0
clock summer-time CEST 5 Sun Mar 02:00 5 Sun Oct 03:00 60
exit
copy running-config startup-config

MDS9000: Setting summer time for CET

Wed, 17 Oct 2012 20:37:36 +0000

After rebuilding two MDS9148, I wanted them to correctly switch the summer/winter time for my time zone. Currently I’m in CET (or CEST during the summer), so I googled for that. The search came up with Cisco-FAQ, however that needed a slight adjustment.

Apparently the NXOS doesn’t support the feature “recurring” in the clock configuration. So I had to slightly adapt the configuration line:

1
2


clock timezone MET 2 0
clock summer-time MET 5 Sun Mar 02:00 5 Sun Oct 03:00 60
