Periodic Time-Ranges

Consider this example:

time-range test {
    periodic {
        days { monday; tuesday; };
        start-time 08:00;
        end-time 22:00;
    };
};

rule r1 {
    term 1 {
        time-range test;
        # ... some actions ...
    };
};

It is also possible to specify starting and ending days:

time-range test {
    periodic {
        days { monday; };
        end-day { friday; };
        start-time 08:00;
        end-time 22:00;
    };
};

Absolute Time-Ranges

time-range test {
    absolute {
        start-day 2003-06-16;
        start-time 08:00;

        end-day 2003-06-19;
        end-time 21:00;
    };

};

Remarks

• You can specify many absolute time-ranges in a time-range (contrary to Cisco Time-Based ACL).
• You can mix absolute and periodic time-ranges. However, at least one absolute time-range must match in order to have the periodic time-ranges evaluated.
• The general documentation will updated soon to cover all aspects of this new feature.
