[c-nsp] Question about DST on Cisco CatOS

[Clinton Work]

I would disable summertime (set summertime disable) regardless if its 
required or not.  Somebody looking at the configuration later would 
wonder why the summertime was left enabled for the UTC timezone.  My 
guess is that the summertime command needs to be removed or CatOS will 
offset the UTC time by one hour during the summer.
