Go CCIE Go!! - A Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert

Hi Pavlo,
I personally have met with mixed results using this technique. Thus, I 86′d it for lab attempt purposes. Sure would suck to wind up losing half an hour troubleshooting something after shaving off just a few seconds…
Cheers,
Scott

Hi Tom. No, you issue a “send *” on the TS and then start typing the commands line by line.
So for example if I wasnt time on ALL of my devices to be set at 8:00 am, I would go to TS # mode, and type send * clock set 8am ^Z
the Z is for send. (clock is an example, we all know the syntax)
Regards, Pavlo
