Time-Based Port Access Control

Section titled “Time-Based Port Access Control”

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.
