DESCRIPTION
You use the schedule component to specify when to apply a firewall rule. You can specify a start time and an
end time, some days of the week, a date when the schedule first starts, and/or a date when the schedule ends
forever.
To apply the schedule to a firewall rule or rule list, edit the firewall or rule-list component. These are the
firewalls and rule lists where you can apply schedules:
"security firewall global-rules"
"security firewall management-ip-rules"
"net self"
"net route-domain"
"ltm virtual"
"security firewall rule-list"
By default, all firewall rules are continuously active. By applying a schedule to a firewall rule, you reduce
the time that the rule is running.
If you create a schedule without any scheduling specifications (such as daily-hour-start), the schedule is
always active.
Note you may not delete a schedule that is being used by any firewall rule or rule list.
EXAMPLES
create schedule my_schedule1 date-valid-start now date-valid-end 12/31/2016 daily-hour-start 8:00 daily-hour-
end 17:00
Creates a new schedule which is active between 8am and 5pm every day until December 31, 2016.

OPTIONS
app-service
Associates this schedule with a particular Application Service. An Application Service is a major
component of an iApp, an advanced configuration tool for creating and maintaining similar applications on
multiple servers. The asm module has components for working with iApps.
description
Describes the schedule.
daily-hour-end
Specifies the time of day this schedule stops. This end hour must be after the daily-hour-start value.
The default is 24:00 (midnight).
A schedule may not contain hours that go past midnight (24:00): for example, a daily-hour-start of 20:00
and daily-hour-end of 02:00 is not allowed. If you need to cover both the late hours and early hours of
the day, please create two schedules.
daily-hour-start
Specifies the time of day this schedule starts. This start hour must be before the daily-hour-end value.
The default is 0:00 (midnight at the start of the day).
date-valid-end
Specifies the final date for this schedule. The schedule stops firing as of this date. You may specify
just the specific date, or a specific date and time for the schedule to end. The date must be after the
date-valid-start value. The default is 19:14 1/18/2038 (the latest date expressible with a 32-bit
integer).
date-valid-start
Specifies the start date for this schedule. The schedule does not fire before this date and time. You may
specify just the specific date, or a specific date and time for the schedule to start. You must specify a
date before the date-valid-end value. The default is midnight 1/1/1970 (Unix epoch).
days-of-week
Specifies which days of the week the schedule fires. You must specify at least one day of the week, and
you cannot specify any day of the week more than once. The default is all seven days.
