To configure a time-of-day suite policy

General Information

Consider the following when you create a time-of-day suite policy:

  • when there are overlapping time range policy entries within a time-of-day suite policy, the time range policy entry with the highest priority is applied first

  • only one time-of-day suite policy entry without a time range (default NO-TIME-RANGE) is allowed for each type of policy

  • you cannot modify a time-of-day suite policy entry after you create the entry

  • you cannot assign the same priority of a global policy within the same policy type

  • you cannot assign the same priority of a local policy within the same policy type

  • you cannot assign the same time range of a global policy within the same policy type

  • you cannot assign the same time range a local policy within the same policy type

  • you cannot distribute a time-of-day suite policy entry to a local policy if the local policy already has been assigned the same time range as the global policy

  • you cannot distribute a time-of-day suite policy entry to a local policy if the local policy already has been assigned the same priority as the global policy

  • all time-of-day suite policy entries of a local policy are replaced by the time-of-day suite policy entries of a global policy if none of the entries from the local policy have the same priority or time ranges as the global policy
