After hours block pattern (significance of time)

Posted: July 26, 2006 by sankar in Cisco General

Lets look at an example where you want to block international calls outside of business hours 8 am to 5 pm.

Remember the time you should configure is in 24 hours format. So 5 pm is 17:00.

after-hours block pattern 1 9011
after-hours day Sun 17:01 08:59
after-hours day Mon 17:00 08:59
after-hours day Tue 17:00 08:59
after-hours day Wed 17:00 08:59
after-hours day Thu 17:00 08:59
after-hours day Fri 17:00 17:00
after-hours day Sat 17:01 17:00

If you specify the time as 08:59, it includes the 60 seconds from 08:59:00 to 08:59:59. So calls will be blocked until 08:59:59. If you specify the time as 17:00, calls will be blocked till until 17:00:59.
