Tip: Daylight Saving Time - Is Your Network Ready to Fall Back?
Did you know that daylight saving time (DST) comes to a close one week later this year? Yep, that’s right… we "fall back" November 4 instead of October 28 as result of changes made in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Change time stamp configurations across all network devices before November 4 using Cirrus Configuration Manager.
