Managing Schedules

Schedules are only required if you want to configure firewall rules that are only applied to traffic at particular periods of the day, or days of the week. The default schedule for all firewall rules is to always apply, 24 hours, 7 days a week.

When configuring a schedule, select the days of the week that you want to add to the schedule and the time interval (in hours:minutes) during which the schedule will run. You can optionally add multiple day and time interval combinations to the schedule.

For details, see the following topics:

•“Add or Edit a Schedule” on page 81

•“Delete Days and Times from an Existing Schedule” on page 82
