Validity Period

The Unified Policies Validity Period Screen enables you to add a validity period to a condition by specifying the time periods when the policy is active and enforced. Select a validity period from the Validity Periods drop-down list:

• AllTheTime - The policy will be enforced all days of the week, all months of the year, and all hours of the day.
• Weekdays - The policy will be enforced on weekdays (Monday - Friday), all months of the year. Each weekday is 24 hours (midnight to midnight).
• Weekends - The policy will be enforced on Saturday and Sunday, all months of the year. Each Saturday and Sunday is 24 hours (midnight to midnight).
• WorkingDay - The policy will be enforced on weekdays (Monday - Friday), from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., all months of the year.
• Custom - Select to create a custom validity period by specifying specific days, months, and times.

When you have completed all of the parameters, click the Next button at the bottom of the screen or click on Review on the left side of the screen to move to the next step. If necessary, you can also click the Back button to return to the screen.

Note: The pre-configured validity period AllTheTime is the default and is automatically assigned to the condition when the Ignore Validity Period in defining Policy Condition checkbox is checked. You can configure a validity period when configuring an IP Condition or Service Condition.
