need some help with time-range command on CBS250-48P-4G

[cisco-newb]

I have a CBS250-48P-4G that I need to daily power cycle poe on a specific interface. I've made the time-range profile, but I can't seem to figure out how to run the profile when the duration is more than a day.

Currently, the time-range profile can only be added to 'power inline auto' and I can't add it to 'power inline never' which is a problem because when time-range is applied to 'power inline auto time-range profile-name-here' the port has power until the time matches what is listed in the profile. My current time-range profile isn't rebooting the port how I expect, here is my current time-range profle

periodic list 06:00 to 05:58 all

Basically, I'd like to cycle power on the port at 6am on Monday and on Tuesday it should power cycle at 5:58am. I can't flip the times to start the power at 5:58am (off) and 6:00am on because the periodic option doesn't work that way.

I can also build this profile:

periodic mon 06:00 to tue 05:58

I am confident will work, but that will only work for 1 day of the week. I can't apply multiple profiles to an interface.

I have a non-cisco switch (in another location) that uses the 'poe disable time-range' command which makes more sense and I was able to quickly create a profile on that switch to disable poe at 5:58am until 6am and it woks perfect. Cisco seems to be backwards and/or missing he option to disable.

Can anyone assist with a time-range option that will power cycle the port daily at 5:58am and turn power back on at 6am?

Thanks.

Edit- It looks like you can add more profiles to a range, I thought I tried, maybe I got the syntax wrong or did not properly understand how to do it in the CLI. When editing range1 in the web GUI I used the + icon to keep adding profiles (or ranges) but they were all nested under range1.

My initial range via CLI was

'periodic list 06:00 to 05:58 all' which didn't seem to be working

However, from the web GUI it didn't seem to be possible to add the recurring range1 profile to a port, it seems that it was only possible to add an absolute range to a port. I logged into the CLI and added range1 to the port I need to cycle.

This is what time-range range1 looks like

periodic mon 06:00 to tue 05:58

periodic tue 06:00 to wed 05:58

periodic wed 06:00 to thu 05:58

periodic thu 06:00 to fri 05:58

periodic fri 06:00 to sat 05:58

periodic sat 06:00 to sun 05:58

periodic sun 06:00 to mon 05:58

interface looks like this

interface gigabitethernet1

power inline auto time-range range1

Seems to me that CBS is made for web interface. Not sure if you tried  there.

I believe if you set different years and months, the time will follow every day on that time range.

[cisco-newb]

I'm not seeing how absolute will work. I tried absolute via CLI and it didn't have the options I was looking for. Absolute doesn't have a daily option. I can check the web interface tomorrow, but the CLI should be able to do everything the web interface can do, I would think, but maybe I am wrong.

The periodic time-range option does have a daily option (all) but it doesn't work (from what I can tell) when the start and stop times are on different days.

Thanks.

[Flavio Miranda]

Yes, probably will not change much. The limitation is to select days of the week. It will work well for a period but as soon as you do this for the whole period. 

[cisco-newb]

Ok, I will take a look at this and let you know. It sounds like you are saying that the web GUI has more options than the CLI, which usually isn't the case, but I will give it a shot.

Thanks.

I can't even find time-range in the web GUI.

[Flavio Miranda]

LOL....you need to select advanced  on the right top.

[cisco-newb]

Thank you. I'm remotely connected to a PC on site and I don't see the full screen w/o scrolling up/down and left right in the remote

[cisco-newb]

Ok, I got to this screen. This is only for absolute start and absolute end, this is not what I'm looking for, I'm looking for daily.

I found the recurring range section and I made a range, but I don't see how I can apply a recurring range to a port, yet.

viewing program. Checking now for the time setting now that I'm in advanced menus.

Edit- Ok, I got to the port settings and selected the interface I want to cycle. I see the range1 option, but range1 is the same name for absolute range and recurring range. However, when I click the edit button, it takes me to time range absolute page so it seems I can only add an absolute time range, which will not work because I can't run it daily unless I'm missing something obvious where I can select daily.

[Flavio Miranda]

Fair enough.   If I find something I let you know

[cisco-newb]

Thanks for your help, I just don't think it can be done. If they allowed for a port to have multiple time-range profiles, I could make a profile for each day, but as I see it, now, you can only apply one time-range.

The other option would be to have it disable power for the time-range profile. It seems that the time-range profile is only for the power on option.

Or, I'm just missing something obvious and can't figure it out.
