Concept Guide

l If a time range is disabled, the SSID becomes unavailable for the configured time range. For example, if
the configured time range is 14:00–17:00, the SSID is made unavailable from 2 PM to 5 PM on a given
day.
4. Click Next and then click Finish.
If the SSID has two time range profiles enabled with an overlapping duration, the time range profile will be
executed as per the configuration conditions described earlier in this chapter. For example, if profile1 has
9AM-12PM as the duration and profile2 has 10AM-11AM as the duration and both are enabled on the SSID,
the SSID becomes available only in the time range 9AM-11AM.
In the CLI
To enable a time range profile on an SSID:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "<name>")# time-range <name> enable
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "<name>")# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To disable a time range profile on an SSID:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "<name>")# time-range <name> disable
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "<name>")# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Verifying the Configuration
To view the time range profiles created on a W-IAP:
(Instant AP) # show time-range

Example
The following command creates an absolute time range profile :
(Instant AP)(config)# time-range timep1 absolute start 10/20/2013 10:40 end 10/20/2015 10:50
The following command creates a periodic time range profile that executes on the specified day of the week:
(Instant AP)(config)# time-range timep2 periodic monday 10:40 to tuesday 10:50
The following command creates a periodic time range profile that executes daily:
(Instant AP)(config)# time-range testhshs12 periodic daily 10:20 to 10:35
