Certain divisions of the company tend to shoot themselves in the foot by kicking off large file transfers during business hours, so I had a thought that maybe we could use time-based ACLs to do some QoSing for those guys. I fired up GNS3 with a 3600 running 12.4(25b) with some virtual PCs on it’s Ethernet interfaces.
time-range BUSINESSHOURS periodic daily 8:00 to 17:00 ! ip access-list extended PINGS permit icmp any any time-range BUSINESSHOURS ! class-map match-all PINGS match access-group name PINGS ! policy-map PM-F0/0-OUT class PINGS
First, I set the router’s time to outside of the time range and sent some pings over.
