Time range resource configuration

A time range resource defines a time range, which can be referenced by an ACL or an inter-zone policy

to control when a rule is effective.

You can implement ACL rules based on the time of day by applying a time range to them. A time-based

ACL rule takes effect only in any time periods specified by the time range.

The following basic types of time range are available:

• Periodic time range—Recurs periodically on a day or days of the week.

• Absolute time range—Represents only a period of time and does not recur.

You can create a maximum of 256 time ranges, each with a maximum of 32 periodic statements and 12

absolute statements. The active period of a time range is calculated as follows:

1. Combining all periodic statements

2. Combining all absolute statements

3. Taking the intersection of the two statement sets as the active period of the time range
