You can create a validity period for an ACL rule to control network traffic in a specified period.
To control certain types of traffic in a specified period, you can configure the validity period of an ACL rule to determine the time traffic passes through. For example, to ensure reliable transmission of video traffic at prime time at night, limit the volume of traffic for common online users.
After this configuration task is performed, a time range is created. Then you can specify the time range as the validity period when creating an ACL rule.
The validity period of an ACL rule can be either of the following types:
Absolute time range: The validity period is fixed.
Relative time range: The validity period is a periodic period, for example, each Monday.
