z  If only a periodic time section is defined in a time range, the time range is active only when the 
system time is within the defined periodic time section. If multiple periodic time sections are defined 
in a time range, the time range is active only when the system time is within one of the periodic time 
sections.  
z  If only an absolute time section is defined in a time range, the time range is active only when the 
system time is within the defined absolute time section. If multiple absolute time sections are 
defined in a time range, the time range is active only when the system time is within one of the 
absolute time sections.  
z  If both a periodic time section and an absolute time section are defined in a time range, the time 
range is active only when the periodic time range and the absolute time range are both matched. 
Assume that a time range contains an absolute time section ranging from 00:00 January 1, 2004 to 
23:59 December 31, 2004, and a periodic time section ranging from 12:00 to 14:00 on every 
Wednesday. This time range is active only when the system time is within the range from 12:00 to 
14:00 on every Wednesday in 2004.  
z  If the start time is not specified, the time section starts from 1970/1/1 00:00 and ends on the 
specified end date. If the end date is not specified, the time section starts from the specified start 
date to 2100/12/31 23:59.

Configuring Basic ACL 
A basic ACL filters packets based on their source IP addresses.  
A basic ACL can be numbered from 2000 to 2999. 
Configuration Prerequisites 
z  To configure a time range-based basic ACL rule, you need to create the corresponding time range 
first. For information about time range configuration, refer to section 
Configuring Time Range. 
z  The source IP addresses based on which the ACL filters packets are determined.
