Note: A scheduler can have multiple policies associated with it; however, a policy cannot be associated with multiple schedulers. |
Schedulers are powerful features that allow a policy to be activated for a specified duration. You can define schedulers for a single (non-recurrent) or recurrent time slot within which a policy is active. You can create schedulers irrespective of a policy, meaning that a scheduler cannot be used by any policies. However, if you want a policy to be active within a scheduled time, then you must first create a scheduler.
When a scheduler times out, the associated policy is deactivated and all sessions associated with the policy are also timed out.
If a policy contains a reference to a scheduler, the schedule determines when the policy is active, that is, when it can be used as a possible match for traffic. Schedulers allow you to restrict access to a resource for a period of time or remove a restriction.
