Example: 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.

1. Go to Policy & Objects > Objects > Schedule.
2. Select Create New > Schedule.
3. Fill out the fields with the following information:

Type	One-time
Name	NewYearsEve_Maintenance
Start Date	2014/12/31 <use the built in calendar>
End Date	2015/01/01 <use the built in calendar>
Start Time	Hour: 23, Minute: 0
Stop Time	Hour: 1Minute: 0
Pre-expiration event log	<disable>

4. Select OK.
5. Enter the following CLI command:

config firewall schedule onetime

edit maintenance_window

set start 23:00 2012/12/31

set end 01:00 2013/01/01

end
