David,
You should always use Greenwich mean time as the reference. Eastern
is 5 behind, central is 6, etc. The clock properties on a Windows machine
has a decent list of areas and what time zone they're in. Keep in mind that
some places (Indiana, Arizona, etc) don't participate in daylight savings
time. They like their mornings bright and evenings dark!

Subject: NTP-UTC Time
I need some clarification on NTP UTC time. A lab (Not the CCIE LAB) asks
me to configure a router as a NTP Master and use the clock on my PC to set
the time. So if it was say 12 noon and I lived in the Eastern Time zone I
would actually set my clock 5 hours ahead and then adjust for daylight
savings. Then I would enter the "clock timezone" command and adjust it
back 5 hours???
Is the above the correct way to do it?
Then I have a second router that resides in the Central timezone which is
one
hour behind Eastern. Do I then use the "clock timezone" command on the
Central router and adjust it back -6 to show correct time (assuming not
adjusted for Daylight savings)?
Specifically this example came out of IPEpxert lab 20-3 but I want to check
the solution. It is showing that I would do a "clock timezone CT -1" but
that just doesn't feel accurate! Seems like it should be -6!!!
Thanks,
David
