I can=B4t save the system time and date on my Express 500 switches. Each time I reboot the switches, the factory default date and time are shown again (March 1st 1993).

I tried to change date and time using Cisco=B4s Network Assistant and the Device Manager. After changing date and time, I saved my changes - and after reboot there was the 1993 date again.

I tried different 12.2 IOSs - it=B4s always the same.

Does anybody have an idea what to do?

Thank=B4s Mathias...

Most low end cisco kit does not have a battery so this is normal. ntp is your friend. Don't know now how much you have to spend to get a battery backed clock now but it is a bit more than a Depressed 500 costs anyway.

6500 has one and 877 does not:-) So no more than =A3100,000 then.
