Time Range Options for FTD?

dsykes — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 13:07:58 GMT

Is there a way to setup a time range object to occur monthly instead of daily? I'm not currently seeing a way via the GUI. I'm thinking that this is a limitation, unless someone provides a way... Use case: allow access on the same day each month. Thanks!

I've just checked on FMC 7.4.2.2 and it's not possible.

I'm starting to think the only way to accomplish this would be to use a python script to set the time range and run that script on a monthly schedule.

What's the use case you're dealing with?

A vendor for one of our systems pushes patches over a time-range restricted site-to-site connection. We could possibly rethink that whole process too.

And you would like to allow that connection during a specific monthly time range?

For VPN s2s you need time based ACL.

And time based ACL is limited to day in week or hour in day

You need script to add ACL depend on day in calendar.
