Ports to shutdown after business hours

[npagadua69]

what i am trying to accomplish here is to configure half a dozen ports on a 3550 cisco switch to automatically shut down after business hours. I would also like the port to automatically enable 5 minutes before business open. i cant find anything in cisco that would allow me to do this. please help or point me to a direction.

Hello,

have a look at the following documents:

Schedule commands with Cisco IOS' kron

Command Scheduler

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/products_feature_guide09186a00801b0695.html

I am not sure if this works on a 3550...

Regards,

You can achieve this with time-range based ACLs under IOS 12.x

eg. This config will disable web after 6:00pm

time-range business-hours periodic weekday 08:55 to 18:00

ip access-list 101 permit tcp any any eq http time-range business-hours
