XMC - Enable/disable ports at certain times

Joe80 — Wed, 19 May 2021 23:05:55 GMT

I’m very new to XMC and I’ve seen on this board that it is possible to disable/enable ports at certain times. I’m interested in doing this for our DR but I don’t know how to. I’ve looked on XMC and can’t see anything obvious, I’m assuming you essentially run a script at scheduled times? How do you schedule a script on XMC?

Can anyone confirm and if a script already exists on the forum for the enable/disable point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Joe

After editing it you can edit Runtime settings and save as task:

Then Under Tasks-→ Saved Tasks you can schedule it like below:

Hi Chris,

Is there any good working approach to XMC in dark mode? Some particular browser plugin for that? I hereby place a feature request! 🙂

Cheers,

Tomasz

My unofficial answer(and it pains me to say it) has been using Edge(still painful to type) and enable dark mode like below with the “flags” method:

I haven’t personally seen any “odd” behavior.
