ASA Time Range Objects

What is a Time Range Object?

A time range object defines a specific time consisting of a start time, an end time, and optional recurring entries. You use these objects in network policies to provide time-based access to certain features or assets. For example, you could create an access rule that allows access to a particular server during working hours only. Creating a time range does not restrict access to the device. Note that the times configured for these objects are local to the device.

You can add an absolute or recurring time ranges to this object. Recurring ranges are considered to be periodic time ranges.

Note

If a time range has both absolute and periodic values specified, then the periodic values are evaluated only after the absolute start time is reached and they are not further evaluated after the absolute end time is reached.
