Switch Port Schedules Configuration

Dashboard Location: Switching > Configure > Port Schedules

Switch port schedules configuration in Meraki networks provides administrators with the capability to implement time-based access control for switch ports, enabling automated port activation and deactivation based on predefined schedules. This functionality supports business hour enforcement, security protocols, energy management, and operational compliance by controlling when specific network ports are accessible. Port schedules are essential for implementing temporal network access policies, reducing security exposure during off-hours, managing network resource utilization, and ensuring compliance with organizational access control requirements.

Example-1: The example below demonstrates switch port schedules configuration.

This configuration defines a named switch port schedule, “Weekend Only Port Schedule,” that applies time-based access control for all seven days of the week, with each day configured as active and using a full-day time range from 00:00 to 24:00, ensuring ports remain enabled at all times but can be adapted to restrict access to specific business hours or security requirements if needed.
