Define a Time Range

Three basic commands are used to implement the time-based features in extended ACLs:

• time-range

• periodic

• absolute

The time-range command is used to create (name) a time range, while the absolute and periodic commands are used to define the days and times included in the named range. While multiple periodic entries are allowed per time-range command, only one absolute entry is allowed.

If a time-range command has both absolute and periodic values specified, then the periodic items are evaluated only after the absolute start time is reached, and aren’t evaluated any further after the absolute end time is reached.
