| From the global config mode, use clock set:
To manually set the system software clock, use one of the formats of the clock set EXEC command.
clock set hh:mm:ss day month year
clock set hh:mm:ss month day year
Syntax Description
hh:mm:ss
Current time in hours (military format), minutes, and seconds.
day Current day (by date) in the month.
month Current month (by name).
year Current year (no abbreviation).

| Don't feel like an idiot.
A couple of months ago I was on a CCIE bootcamp and the guy next to me configured NTP. He asked me to have a look, he had sync and was sane etc but when I did a "show clock" it said 1993.
The guy hadn't even set the clock - I asked him why and he said "I don't know how".
Your doing your CCNA - don't feel like an idiot, your doing it to learn and yoiu have a lot to take in.
The CCIE candidate however should have known. | |

| I like what Mat P said. Use NTP. Set one of your switches/routers up as an NTP master and have the others sync with it. That is, once you get comfortable with setting the clock.
Anyway, NTP (Network Time Protocol) makes life a lot easier. Then you never have to set the clock. | |

Well, you still set the clock on the NTP master, but you're right, let everyone else keep in step with the NTP Master box, and they all stay in step. Plus if your syslog server also gets fed from the same source as the devices, you keep the auditing in step and admissible in court, if needed.

Unless you set your NTP master to get its time from an external source, such as a stratum 1 server.
We use a time server on our network that has a GPS antenna and get its time from satellites. Then, our core switch gets its time from it, and so on.
However, there are free time servers available on the Internet that you can get your time from. The following link lists some, including IP addresses.
