Configure Scheduled Routing on an Access Point
You do this by assigning a routing schedule of one or more time bands to an access point/group.
A time band defines days of the week, start/end times on those days, holidays, and a route plan. In a list of multiple time bands, the first time band is tried first. If it doesn't match, the next time band is tried and so on until a match is found.
According to the routing schedule of three time bands in the table below, the system first checks the first time band for a match. if the current day falls on any of the dates defined in the Christmas and New Year holiday calendar, the 'Winter' route plan is followed; otherwise the system checks the second time band for a match. If it is Saturday or Sunday, the 'Weekend' route plan is followed; otherwise the system checks the final time band. If it is a weekday between 17:00:00 and 08:59:59, the 'Out of Hours' route plan is followed; otherwise the route plan applied to the access point's main route is followed (the default route).
You should apply a time schedule to an access point to route any communication that should not be handled by the primary route plan. In the schedule, it is recommended that holiday routing takes priority over non-holiday routing.
Note: a scheduled route plan is overridden by any disaster recovery route plan that is currently active on the access point/group.
