Configuring Time Ranges
Use these pages to configure time ranges to use in time-based access control list (ACL) rules. Time-based ACLs
allow one or more rules within an ACL to be based on a periodic or absolute time. Each ACL rule within an ACL
except for the implicit
deny all
rule can be configured to be active and operational only during a specific time
period. The time range pages allow you to define specific times of the day and week in order to implement
time-based ACLs. For example, you can create a time-based MAC ACL that prevents clients with specific MAC
addresses from accessing network resources on weekends. The time range is identified by a name and can
then be referenced by an ACL rule defined with in an ACL.
You must configure a named time range before you can reference it from an ACL. In other words, for the ACL
to reference a time range, the time range must already exist. For more information about configuring ACLs,
see
Section 7: “Configuring Access Control Lists,” on page 356
