Setting Time Range on 300 and 500 Series Managed Switches

Objective:

The Time Range feature of the SG200, SG300, and SG500 Series devices can be defined and associated with certain command types to limit their domain to a certain time frame. Time Ranges can be applied to ACLs, 802.1X Port Authentication, Port Stat, and Time Based Power over Ethernet. The two types of time ranges are absolute and recurring. Absolute time range begins on a specified date and will never end unless given a specific date. Therefore, this parameter cannot contain recurring elements. Recurring time range contains an element that, when added to the absolute time range, begins and ends on a recurring basis.

The objective of this document is to show you how to set a time range on the SG200, SG300, and SG500 Series Switches.
