Information About the Master Passphrase
The master passphrase feature allows you to securely store plain text passwords in encrypted format. The
master passphrase provides a key that is used to universally encrypt or mask all passwords, without
changing any functionality. Features that implement the master passphrase include the following:
• OSPF
Command Purpose
clock set hh:mm:ss {month day | day month}
year
Example:
hostname# clock set 20:54:00 april 1 2004
Sets the date time manually.
The hh:mm:ss argument sets the hour, minutes, and seconds in 24-hour
time. For example, enter 20:54:00 for 8:54 pm.
The day value sets the day of the month, from 1 to 31. You can enter the
day and month as april 1 or as 1 april, for example, depending on your
standard date format.
The month value sets the month. Depending on your standard date format,
you can enter the day and month as april 1 or as 1 april.
The year value sets the year using four digits, for example, 2004. The year
range is from 1993 to 2035.
The default time zone is UTC. If you change the time zone after you enter
the clock set command using the clock timezone command, the time
automatically adjusts to the new time zone.
This command sets the time in the hardware chip, and does not save the
time in the configuration file. This time endures reboots. Unlike the other
clock commands, this command is a privileged EXEC command. To reset
the clock, you need to set a new time with the clock set command.
