Configuring Time-Based Services
APs allow you to enable or disable an SSID for users at a particular time of the day. You can
now create a time range profile and assign it to a WLAN SSID, so that user access to the
Internet or network is restricted during a specific time period.
APs support the configuration of both absolute and periodic time range profiles. You can
configure an absolute time range profile to execute during a specific timeframe or create a
periodic profile to execute at regular intervals based on the periodicity specified in the
configuration.
The following configuration conditions apply to the time-based services:
●
Time-based services require an active NTP server connection. APs use the default NTP
server for time synchronization. However, the administrators can also configure an NTP
server on the AP. To verify the time synchronization between the NTP server and the AP,
execute the
command and check if the time on the NTP server is in
synchronization with the local time. For more information on NTP server configuration,
see NTP Server.
● For a time range profile configured to
the SSID on the AP:
– When the timer starts, if the current time is greater than the start time and lesser than
the end time, the SSID will be brought UP. If the SSID is already UP, then there is no
effect on the SSID.
– When the timer ends, if the current time is greater than the end time, the SSID is
brought DOWN. If the SSID is already DOWN, then there is no effect on the SSID.
