Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 4000

Any

You set the frequency for a recurring task using the same process for all types of tasks.

You cannot configure a recurring task schedule on the inactive Defense Center in a high availability pair 
of Defense Centers. You must recreate the recurring task schedule on a newly activated Defense Center 
when it changes from inactive to active.

Note that the time displayed on most pages on the web interface is the local time, which is determined 
by using the time zone you specify in your local configuration. Further, the Defense Center automatically 
adjusts its local time display for daylight saving time (DST), where appropriate. However, recurring 
tasks that span the transition dates from DST to standard time and back do not adjust for the transition. 
That is, if you create a task scheduled for 2:00 AM during standard time, it will run at 3:00 AM during 
DST. Similarly, if you create a task scheduled for 2:00 AM during DST, it will run at 1:00 AM during 
standard time.
