Defaults
If you enter a timezone name without specifying an offset in hours and minutes, the default is an
offset from UTC of 0 hours and 0 minutes.

when SNTP is used to synchronize the time used by devices on the network.
To display the current timezone setting used by SNTP, use the show sntp command. To clear an
existing offset to zero, enter the command without specifying any hours or minutes.
