Creating proxy rules
Entering information on the
Time tab
7-10 Creating Rules and Groups
This tab allows you to determine the days and times a proxy rule is
enabled. You can also specify whether a proxy rule is temporary and
will expire after a specific period of time. Follow the steps below.
1. In the Times/Days field, specify when to allow or deny the service(s)
defined for this proxy rule. The format is fairly flexible. You must enter a
day of the week (or a range of days), followed by a time range (be sure
to either use military time OR include am or pm after each hour). You
may abbreviate the day, but do not use periods. You can include
multiple entries as long as they are separated by a comma and a space.
The following are examples of valid entries:
Mon-Fri 8am-5pm
Monday-Tuesday 8am-5pm, Friday noon-Sunday 8am
Thur 1200-1500, Sat 1800
8:00am-10:00pm Mon-Thur, 8:30am-5:30pm Fri
2. In the Rule Time To Live field, you can configure a proxy rule to be
temporary (that is, to expire after a specified time period). Select one of
the following three options:
No Expiration—Select this option if you do NOT want the proxy
rule to be temporary (that is, it will NOT expire). This is the default
value.
Offset—Select this option to specify a period of time that must
elapse, starting from the creation date of the rule, before the proxy
rule will expire (for example, two days, one week, three years).
When you select this option, the Disable Rule In field appears.
Select a time period from the drop-down list (Days, Hours, Minutes,
Months, Seconds, Weeks, or Years) and then specify the
appropriate number in the text box.
Date/Time—Select this option to specify an exact date and time
when the proxy rule will expire. When you select this option,
additional fields appear. In the Month, Day, and Year drop-down
lists, specify the date that you want the rule to expire. In the Time
drop-down lists, specify the exact time you want the rule to expire.
