Time Range Entry Configuration

Use the Time Range Entry Configuration page to configure periodic and absolute time range entries and add them to named time ranges.

Note

The time range entries use the system time for the time periods in which they take effect. Make sure you configure the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) server settings so that the SNTP client on the switch can obtain the correct date and time from the server.

To access this page, click System > Advanced Configuration > Time Ranges > Entry Configuration in the navigation menu.

To configure the time range entries for a time range configuration, select the time range configuration from the Time Range Name menu and use the buttons to perform the following tasks:

To add an Absolute time range entry, click Add Absoluteand configure information about when the Absolute entry occurs. If the Add Absolute button is not available, an Absolute entry already exists for the selected time range configuration.
To add a Periodic time range entry, click Add Periodicand specify the days and times that the entry is in effect.
To delete a time range entry, select each entry to delete, click Remove, and confirm the action.
