firewall schedule recurring

firewall schedule recurring

Use this command to add, edit, and delete recurring schedules used in firewall policies.

Use scheduling to control when policies are active or inactive. Use recurring schedules to create policies that repeat weekly. Use recurring schedules to create policies that are effective only at specified times of the day or on specified days of the week.

note icon If a recurring schedule is created 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. To create a recurring schedule that runs for 24 hours, set the start and stop times to the same time.
