- vyos@vyos# set system time-zone [time-zone] \ No newline at end of file
+ Specify the systems `<timezone>` as the Region/Location that best defines
+ your location. For example, specifying US/Pacific sets the time zone to US
+ Pacific time.

+ for daylight time will take place automatically based on the time of year. \ No newline at end of file
