Schedules

Use schedules to set up one-time and recurring schedules for policy routes, firewall rules, application patrol, and content filtering.

27.1 Schedule Overview

The NXC supports two types of schedules: one-time and recurring. One-time schedules are effective only once, while recurring schedules usually repeat. Both types of schedules are based on the current date and time in the NXC.

Schedules are based on the current date and time in the NXC.

One-time schedules begin on a specific start date and time and end on a specific stop date and time. One-time schedules are useful for long holidays and vacation periods.

Recurring schedules begin at a specific start time and end at a specific stop time on selected days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday). Recurring schedules always begin and end in the same day. Recurring schedules are useful for defining the workday and off-work hours.
