Configuring a time range resource
Overview
A time range resource defines a time range, which can be referenced by an ACL or an interzone policy
to control when a rule is effective.
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.
Configuration guidelines
You can create a maximum of 256 time ranges, each having a maximum of 32 periodic statements and
12 absolute statements. If a time range has multiple statements, its active period 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.
If the selected time range resource includes the current time, the time range is displayed as "Active" in the
time range resource list. Otherwise, the time range is displayed as "Inactive."
