TIME RANGE COMMANDS
The Time Range commands are used in conjunction with the Access Profile commands listed in the previous chapter to determine
a starting point and an ending point, based on days of the week, when an Access Profile configuration will be enabled on the
Switch. Once configured here, the time range are to be applied to an access profile rule using the config access_profile profile_id
command.
NOTE: The Time Range commands are based on the time settings of the Switch.
Make sure to configure the time for the Switch appropriately for these commands
using commands listed in the following chapter, Time and SNTP Commands.
The Time Range commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the
following table.
Command Parameters
<range_name 32> [hours start_time <time hh:mm:ss> end_time <time hh:mm:ss>
weekdays <daylist> | delete]
config time_range
show time_range
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
config time_range
Purpose Used to configure a time range in which an access profile rule is to be enabled.
Syntax
config time_range <range_name 32> [hours start_time <time hh:mm:ss> end_time
<time hh:mm:ss> weekdays <daylist> | delete]
Description This command is to be used in conjunction with an access profile rule to determine a
period of time when an access profile and an associated rule are to be enabled on the
Switch. Remember, this time range can only be applied to one period of time and also, it
is based on the time set on the Switch.
Parameters range_name 32 – Enter a name of no more than 32 alphanumeric characters that will be
used to identify this time range on the Switch. This range name will be used in the config
access_profile profile_id command to identify the access profile and associated rule to
be enabled for this time range.
hours – This parameter is used to set the time in the day that this time range is to be set
using the following parameters:
• start_time <time hh:mm:ss> – Use this parameter to identify the starting time of
the time range, in hours, minutes and seconds, based on the 24–hour time
system.
• end_time <time hh:mm:ss> – Use this parameter to identify the ending time of the
time range, in hours, minutes and seconds, based on the 24–hour time system.
weekdays – Use this parameter to determine the days of the week to set this time range.
• <daylist> – The user may set the days of the week here to set this time range in
the three letter format (mon, tue, wed…). To specify a day range, separate the
daylist using a dash (mon–fri would mean Monday through Friday). To specify a
list of days in a week, separate the daylist using a comma, with no spaces
(mon,tue,fri would mean Monday, Tuesday and Friday).
delete – Use this parameter to delete a previously configured time range from the system.
Restrictions Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure the time range time1 to be between 6:30 a.m. and 9:40 p.m., Monday to Friday:
