Usage guidelines
You can create multiple statements in a time range. Each time statement can take one of the following
forms:
• Periodic statement in the start-time to end-time days format. A periodic statement recurs periodically
on a day or days of the week.
• Absolute statement in the from time1 date1 to time2 date2 format. An absolute statement does not
recur.
• Compound statement in the start-time to end-time days from time1 date1 to time2 date2 format. A
compound statement recurs on a day or days of the week only within the specified period. For
example, to create a time range that is active from 08:00 to 12:00 on Monday between January
1, 2010 00:00 and December 31, 2010 23:59, use the time-range test 08:00 to 12:00 mon from
00:00 01/01/2010 to 23:59 12/31/2010 command.
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
Examples
# Create a periodic time range t1, setting it to be active between 8:00 to 18:00 during working days.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] time-range t1 8:0 to 18:0 working-day
# Create an absolute time range t2, setting it to be active in the whole year of 2010.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] time-range t2 from 0:0 1/1/2010 to 24:0 12/31/2010
# Create a compound time range t3, setting it to be active from 08:00 to 12:00 on Saturdays and
Sundays of the year 2010.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] time-range t3 8:0 to 12:0 off-day from 0:0 1/1/2010 to 24:0 12/31/2010
# Create a compound time range t4, setting it to be active from 10:00 to 12:00 on Mondays and from
14:00 to 16:00 on Wednesdays in the period of January through June of the year 2010.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] time-range t4 10:0 to 12:0 1 from 0:0 1/1/2010 to 24:0 1/31/2010
[Sysname] time-range t4 14:0 to 16:0 3 from 0:0 6/1/2010 to 24:0 6/30/2010
