Schedules

Adding schedules to policies

156
If you create a recurring schedule with a stop time that occurs before the start time,
the schedule starts at the start time and finishes at the stop time on the next day. You
can use this technique to create recurring schedules that run from one day to the next.
You can also create a recurring schedule that runs for 24 hours by setting the start and
stop times to the same time.
To create a recurring schedule
1 Go to Firewall > Schedule > Recurring.
2 Select New to create a new schedule.
3 Type a Name for the schedule.
The name can contain numbers (0-9), uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z), and
the special characters - and _. Other special characters and spaces are not allowed.
4 Select the days of the week that you want the schedule to be active on.
5 Set the Start and Stop hours in between which you want the schedule to be active.
Recurring schedules use a 24-hour clock.
6 Select OK to save the recurring schedule.

After you create schedules, you can add them to policies to schedule when the
policies are active. You can add the new schedules to policies when you create the
policy, or you can edit existing policies and add a new schedule to them.
