D-Link DFL-700 manual Schedules, Add new recurring schedule

Schedules

It is possible to configure a schedule for policies to take affect. By creating a schedule, the DFL-700 is allowing the firewall policies to be used at those designated times only. Any activities outside of the scheduled time slot will not follow the

policies and will therefore likely not be permitted to pass through the firewall. The

DFL-700 can be configured to have a start time and stop time, as well as creating 2 different time periods in a day. For example, an organization may only want the firewall to allow the internal network users to access the Internet during work

hours. Therefore, one may create a schedule to allow the firewall to allow traffic Monday- Friday, 8AM-5PM only. During the non-work hours, the firewall will not allow Internet access.
