9.9.5 Time Range
With this option, you can configure access time range records for eventual
association with access rules. Access rules associated with time range record
will be active only during the scheduled period of time. If the Access rule
denies HTTP access during 10.00hrs to 18hrs then before 10.00hrs and after
1800 hrs the HTTP traffic will be permitted to pass through.
When you configure Time range record they are saved in the Time Range (or
schedules) database. One time range record can contain multiple time periods,
for example:
* Office hours on week days (Mon-Fri) can have the following periods:
a. Pre-lunch period between 9:00 and 13:00 Hrs
b. Post-lunch period between 14:00 and 18:30 Hrs
* Office hours on week ends (Saturday) can have the following periods:
a. 9:00 and 12:00 Hrs
Such varying time periods can be configured into a single time range record.
Access rules can be activated based on these time periods.
1. To add a new Time Range, choose the Add New option in the drop

mentioned above you need to add a Schedule and not otherwise. In

which you’d like to allow the traffic in the Time field in hh:mm format.
