Firewall Schedule - One-time
The company wants to change over their web site image to reference the new year. They have decided to take this opportunity to do some hardware upgrades as well. Their web site is business oriented so they have determined that over New Year’s Eve there will be very limited traffic.
• They are going to need a maintenance window of 2 hours bracketing midnight on New Year’s Eve.
