How to Create a Schedule that Spans Two Days

Steps

To create a schedule which spans more than one day, for example from 10pm to 5am:

• Create a schedule, go to Objects > Schedules.

  Schedule that spans past midnight should be split between PM and AM

• Add the schedule to a policy, go to Policies tab.  Click on the Options link for a security policy.

  Security Policy Actions with a Schedule

• To display the schedule setting, run command: 

  admin@myNGFW# show schedule    (add 'shared|vsys1|vsys2|...' for multiVSYS)
  schedule {
    multiday {
      schedule-type {
        recurring {
          daily [ 22:00-23:59 00:00-05:00];
        }
      }
    }
  }
  [edit]                     

If time spanning multiple days is put in a single schedule (eg. start 22:00 end 05:00) an error message will appear:

End time is earlier that start time error message
