4. Click OK.
In the CLI:
To create an absolute time range profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# time-range <name> absolute start <startday> <starttime> end <endday>
<endtime>
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To configure a periodic time range profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# time-range <name> periodic {<startday>|daily|weekday|weekend}
<starttime> to <endtime>
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Applying a Time Range Profile to a WLAN SSID
To apply a time range profile to a WLAN SSID using the Instant UI:
1. Navigate to the WLANSSID profile configuration wizard
a. Click Network > New or
b. Select an existing WLAN SSID and click edit.
2. Click Show advanced options.
3. Click Edit, select a time range profile from the list, then select a value from the Status drop-down list, and
then click OK.
l When a time range profile is enabled on an SSID, the SSID is made available to the users for the
configured time range. For example, if the specified time range is 12:00–13:00, the SSID becomes
available only between 12 PM and 1 PM on a given day.
