Restrict Internet Access
In the following configuration the ACME company wants to restrict its employees from
accessing popular video sharing websites as this is causing bandwidth problems during
work hours. The ACME company is happy for workers to access the site after work hours.
Employee PCs at ACME are on vlan2. Two triggers with associated scripts are needed:
■ Trigger 1 activates at 8.30am and runs a script called shutdown.scp. This script adds
commands to restrict access to the specified sites
■ Trigger 2 activates at 5.30pm and runs the script called open.scp. This script removes
the configuration specified by shutdown.scp
1. Create the shutdown.scp script
Create a configuration script using Access Control List commands to restrict users on
vlan2 from accessing the specific sites.
2. Create the open.scp script
Create a script to remove the ACL configuration specified in the shutdown.scp file.
3. Configure trigger 1
To create trigger 1, use the commands:
Set the trigger to activate at 8:30am, by using the command:
Set the trigger to activate on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday:
Add the script shutdown.scp to the trigger:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# trigger 1
awplus(config-trigger)# type time 08:30
awplus(config-trigger)# day mon tue wed thur fri
awplus(config-trigger)# script 1 shutdown.scp
