The switch supports a maximum of 10 absolute time ranges.
All time specifications are interpreted as local time (Daylight Savings Time

does not affect this).
To ensure that the time range entries take effect at the desired times, the

system time must be set. For more information on setting the system time,

see "Time Synchronization" on page 64.
A possible use for this feature is to limit access of computers to the network

only during business hours, after which they are locked, and access to the rest

of the network is blocked.
