Cisco 220 Series Smart Switches Administration Guide Release 1.1.0.x
Time ranges can be defined and associated with the following types of
commands, so that they are applied only during that time range:
• Port Stat
• Time-Based PoE
There are two types of time ranges:
• Absolute—This type of time range begins on a specific date or immediately
and ends on a specific date or extends infinitely. It is created in the Time
Range pages. A periodic element can be added to it.
• Periodic—This type of time range contains a time range element that is
added to an absolute range, and begins and ends on a periodic basis. It is
defined in the Periodic Range pages.
If a time range includes both absolute and periodic ranges, the process
associated with it is activated only if both absolute start time and the periodic time
range have been reached. The process is deactivated when either of the time
ranges are reached.
The device supports a maximum of 20 absolute time ranges.
To ensure that the time range entries take effect at the desired times, the system
time must be set.
The time-range feature can be used for the following:
• Limit access of computers to the network during business hours (for
example), after which the network ports are locked, and access to the rest
of the network is blocked (see Configuring Ports and Configuring LAG
Settings)
• Limit PoE operation to a specified period.
